  • Author: lily
  • Total Time: 22 minutes
  • Yield: 12 deviled eggs 1x
  • Diet: Vegetarian

Description

Delicious deviled eggs enhanced with sour cream and butter for a creamy, tangy flavor.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large Eggs
  • 3 tbsp Mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp Sour Cream
  • 1 tbsp Unsalted Butter
  • 1 tsp Dijon Mustard
  • 1 tsp White Vinegar
  • 1/8 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1/8 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1 dash Smoked Paprika
  • 1 tbsp Fresh Chives

Instructions

  1. Place the eggs in a single layer in a large pot and cover with 1 inch of cold water.
  2. Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat.
  3. Once boiling, turn off the heat, cover the pot, and let the eggs sit for exactly 12 minutes.
  4. While the eggs sit, prepare a large bowl filled with cold water and ice cubes.
  5. After 12 minutes, immediately transfer the hot eggs to the ice bath and let them chill for 10 minutes.
  6. Once chilled, peel the eggs under cold running water.
  7. Slice the peeled eggs in half lengthwise and carefully pop the yolks into a medium bowl.
  8. Use a fork to mash the yolks until they resemble fine crumbs.
  9. Add the mayonnaise, sour cream, softened butter, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, and pepper to the mashed yolks.
  10. Mix vigorously until the filling is ultra-smooth, light, and creamy.
  11. Transfer this creamy filling into a Ziploc bag and snip off one bottom corner with scissors.
  12. Pipe the mixture beautifully into the egg white halves.
  13. Lightly dust each egg with smoked paprika and top with fresh chives.
  14. Serve immediately or cover the platter and refrigerate until ready to serve!

Notes

Use 7-10 days old eggs for easier peeling. Don’t overcook the eggs to avoid a gray ring around the yolk.
