Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup full-fat mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon white vinegar or apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 4 slices thick-cut bacon, cooked until very crisp and finely crumbled
  • 1/2 cup finely shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives or green onion (green parts only)
  • For garnish: Extra bacon crumbles, shredded cheddar, chives, and a sprinkle of paprika or smoked paprika.

Instructions

  1. Place eggs in a single layer in a large saucepan. Cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring to a full, rolling boil over high heat. Once boiling, immediately cover and remove from heat. Let stand, covered, for 12 minutes.
  2. While eggs cook, prepare an ice bath in a large bowl. After 12 minutes, transfer eggs to the ice bath to cool completely, which also makes peeling easier.
  3. Once cool, peel the eggs carefully. Slice each egg in half lengthwise. Gently remove yolks to a medium bowl and arrange whites on a serving platter.
  4. To the yolks, add mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, vinegar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mash and stir with a fork until completely smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  5. Add about three-quarters of the crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar, and chopped chives to the yolk mixture. Fold gently until evenly combined. Reserve remaining toppings for garnish.
  6. Spoon or pipe the filling into the egg white cups. Garnish with reserved bacon, cheese, chives, and a light dusting of paprika. Serve immediately or chill until ready.

Notes

For perfect eggs, do not skip the ice bath. Cook bacon until very crisp so it retains texture in the filling. Components can be prepared a day ahead: store peeled egg whites and filling separately, then assemble within a few hours of serving.
