Ingredients

For the Eggs:

  • 6 large eggs
  • Water (for boiling)

For the Filling:

  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon sour cream (this is the “million dollar” touch!)
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sugar (optional, but recommended for balance)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Optional Toppings:

  • Paprika (classic choice)
  • Chopped chives or green onions
  • Crispy bacon bits
  • A sprinkle of smoked paprika or cayenne

Instructions

Step 1: Boil the Eggs

Place eggs in a saucepan and cover them with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the pot, turn off the heat, and let the eggs sit for 10–12 minutes.

Transfer the eggs to an ice bath and let them cool completely. This makes peeling much easier.

Step 2: Peel and Slice

Gently peel the eggs, then slice each one in half lengthwise. Carefully remove the yolks and place them in a bowl. Set the egg whites aside on a serving plate.

Step 3: Make the Filling

Mash the yolks with a fork until smooth. Add mayonnaise, sour cream, both mustards, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper.

Mix until the filling is creamy, smooth, and slightly fluffy. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 4: Fill the Eggs

Spoon the mixture into the egg whites or pipe it in using a piping bag (or a zip-top bag with the corner cut off for a neater look).

Step 5: Garnish & Serve

Sprinkle with paprika and your favorite toppings. Serve immediately or chill in the fridge until ready to serve.

Tips for Perfect Deviled Eggs

  • Use slightly older eggs – they peel more easily than fresh ones
  • Don’t skip the ice bath – it stops cooking and prevents overcooked yolks
  • Mash yolks thoroughly for a silky-smooth filling
  • Pipe for presentation if you want that “fancy” Pinterest look
  • Taste before filling – small adjustments make a big difference
