A quick and easy creamy deviled egg tray recipe perfect for any gathering, featuring a smooth, flavorful filling with classic ingredients and a creamy twist.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large eggs, hard-boiled
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • Salt to taste (start with 1/4 teaspoon)
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika (sweet or smoked, for garnish)
  • Chives or green onion, finely chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Place 12 large eggs in a single layer in a medium pot. Cover with cold water about an inch above the eggs. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat.
  2. Once boiling, remove from heat, cover with a lid, and let sit for exactly 12 minutes.
  3. Transfer eggs to an ice bath immediately to cool for 5 minutes.
  4. Gently tap each egg on the counter and peel under running water.
  5. Slice each egg lengthwise and carefully remove yolks, placing them in a mixing bowl. Arrange egg whites on a tray or platter.
  6. Mash the yolks with a fork until crumbly but smooth. Add mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, and white vinegar. Mix thoroughly until creamy.
  7. Season with salt and pepper, then taste and adjust accordingly.
  8. Fill each egg white half with the creamy yolk mixture using a spoon or piping bag.
  9. Sprinkle paprika generously over the filled eggs and add chopped chives or green onions if desired.
  10. Cover the tray with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use slightly older eggs for easier peeling. Adding baking soda to boiling water can help loosen shells. Chill eggs after filling for best flavor and texture. Prepare eggs up to two days in advance, keeping them unpeeled in the fridge. Use a piping bag or zip-top bag with a corner snipped for neat filling. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
