A quick and easy recipe for creamy deviled eggs with a silky smooth filling, perfect for parties and snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large eggs
  • ½ cup (120 ml) mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) yellow mustard
  • 1 tsp (5 ml) white vinegar
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) sour cream (optional)
  • ½ tsp (3 g) salt
  • ¼ tsp (1 g) freshly ground black pepper
  • Smoked paprika (for garnish)
  • Chives or parsley, finely chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place 12 large eggs in a single layer in a large pot and cover with cold water by about 1 inch (2.5 cm). Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then immediately remove the pot from heat. Cover and let the eggs sit for 12 minutes.
  2. Drain the hot water and transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water. Let sit for at least 5 minutes or until completely cooled.
  3. Gently tap each egg on a hard surface to crack the shell, then peel under running water to remove shells easily. Pat dry with a paper towel.
  4. Using a sharp knife, carefully slice each egg in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl, arranging the whites on a serving platter.
  5. Mash the yolks with a fork until crumbly. Add mayonnaise, sour cream, yellow mustard, white vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Stir well until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  6. Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves. For a polished look, use a star tip on your piping bag or smooth with a butter knife.
  7. Sprinkle smoked paprika over the filled eggs for color and smoky flavor. Add chopped chives or parsley if desired.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to let flavors meld and filling set.

Notes

Use eggs about a week old for easier peeling. If filling is too stiff, add a teaspoon of milk or more mayo; if too runny, add more mashed yolk or less mayo. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. Avoid freezing deviled eggs as texture degrades.
