Ingredients

For the Deviled Eggs

6 large eggs
1/4 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 green onions, finely chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
Paprika for garnish

Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting for best results.

Instructions

Prepare the Eggs

Hard-boil the eggs by placing them in a pot and covering them with cold water. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat and cover for 10 minutes. Transfer to an ice bath to cool, then peel the eggs.

Make the Filling

Cut the eggs in half lengthwise and remove the yolks. In a bowl, mash the yolks with sour cream, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, green onions, salt, and pepper until smooth.

Fill the Egg Whites

Using a spoon or piping bag, fill the egg white halves with the yolk mixture. Sprinkle with paprika for garnish.

Serve

Chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.

Enjoy your delicious Sour Cream Onion Deviled Eggs!

Storage Tips

To keep your Sour Cream Onion Deviled Eggs fresh, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They are best enjoyed within two to three days of preparation. If you're making them for a special occasion, consider preparing the filling separately and filling the egg whites just before serving to maintain optimal freshness and texture.

For longer storage, you can freeze the egg yolk mixture, but it’s best to avoid freezing the filled eggs, as the texture may change upon thawing. Always ensure the eggs are well-covered to prevent them from absorbing odors from other foods in the fridge.

Serving Suggestions

These deviled eggs can be served in various ways to enhance your presentation. Arrange them on a decorative platter, garnished with extra chopped green onions or fresh herbs. For an elegant touch, you can even place them on a bed of arugula or lettuce leaves for added color and crunch.

Pair your deviled eggs with complementary appetizers like a charcuterie board or fresh vegetable platter. They also make a great accompaniment to cocktails at a brunch or afternoon gathering. The creamy and savory profile of these eggs will balance beautifully with a variety of flavors!
