Notes
This recipe can be easily doubled.
*Start with 1 teaspoon of pickle juice. Taste the filling. If the filling needs more salty/tangy flavor, add another teaspoon.
**White vinegar and red wine vinegar are good substitutes for the pickle juice. However, you may want to add a pinch of salt to the yolk mixture if you do this.
