These creamy deviled eggs with smoked paprika feature a rich, velvety filling with a subtle smoky kick, perfect for party appetizers and family gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
  • ½ cup mayonnaise (120 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream (30 ml)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (15 ml)
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (5 ml)
  • ½ teaspoon salt (3 grams)
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (1 gram)
  • 1½ teaspoons smoked paprika (3 grams)
  • Chives or fresh parsley, finely chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Place eggs in a single layer in a large pot. Cover with cold water about 1 inch above eggs. Bring water to a rolling boil over high heat (8-10 minutes). Turn off heat and cover pot. Let eggs sit for 12 minutes.
  2. Drain hot water and immediately transfer eggs to an ice bath for 5-7 minutes to stop cooking and make peeling easier.
  3. Tap eggs gently on the counter and roll to crack shells. Peel under running water if needed to remove stubborn bits.
  4. Slice eggs in half lengthwise. Scoop out yolks into a medium bowl, placing whites on a serving platter.
  5. Mash yolks with a fork or potato masher until crumbly. Add mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper. Stir vigorously until smooth and creamy.
  6. Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves, creating a generous mound.
  7. Sprinkle smoked paprika evenly over each filled egg. Garnish with fresh chives or parsley if desired.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to let flavors meld and filling set. Serve cold or at room temperature.

Notes

If filling is too thick, add more mayo or sour cream one teaspoon at a time. If too runny, add extra mashed yolk. Use an ice bath after boiling eggs for easier peeling. Wipe knife blade between cuts for neat edges. Smoked paprika intensity varies; adjust to taste. For dairy-free, use vegan mayo and coconut yogurt.
