Prep & Cook Time

• Prep Time: 15 minutes
• Cook Time: 12 minutes
• Total Time: 27 minutes
• Servings: 12

Ingredients

• 12 eggs (large)
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
• 4 strips bacon (cooked and crumbled)
• 3 tablespoons fresh chives (minced)
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

1. Place the eggs in a single layer in a large pot and cover with water by about an inch. Bring to a boil over high heat.
2. Once boiling, cover the pot, remove from heat, and let it sit for 12 minutes.
3. Carefully transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool completely, then peel them.
4. Slice each egg in half lengthwise and gently remove the yolks into a medium bowl.
5. Mash the yolks with a fork until fine. Add the sour cream, Dijon mustard, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, minced chives, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
6. Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves.
7. Serve immediately or chill until ready to eat.

Variations

• For a smoother filling, blend the yolk mixture in a food processor until creamy before piping.
• Use a zip-top bag with a corner cut off to pipe the filling for a more decorative presentation.
• Create a layered effect by sprinkling extra crumbled bacon and minced chives between layers of filling in the egg whites.
• Chill the filled eggs for an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the filling to firm up.

Tips for Success

• Use eggs that are a week old for easier peeling after boiling.
• Shock the boiled eggs in an ice bath to prevent a green ring around the yolks and stop the cooking process.
• Ensure the egg yolks are finely mashed before adding other ingredients for a lump-free, creamy filling.
• For uniform portions, use a small cookie scoop or spoon to fill the egg white halves.

Storage & Reheating

Store leftover deviled eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. For best quality, consume them cold; reheating is not recommended as it can alter the texture and make the eggs rubbery.
