Instructions

  1. Place 12 large eggs in a pot and cover with cold water by 1 inch.
  2. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat (about 8-10 minutes).
  3. Once boiling, cover, turn off the heat, and let sit for 10-12 minutes.
  4. Transfer eggs to an ice bath for at least 5 minutes.
  5. Peel eggs carefully and pat dry with a paper towel.
  6. Slice eggs in half lengthwise using a sharp knife or egg slicer.
  7. Gently remove yolks and place them in a mixing bowl.
  8. Mash yolks with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and sour cream (if using).
  9. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix until creamy.
  10. Divide the filling evenly into six bowls for the different flavor variations.
  11. Customize each filling: Classic (leave as is, top with paprika), Bacon & Chive (add bacon and chives), Sriracha (add Sriracha, top with green onion and sesame seeds), Buffalo (add wing sauce, blue cheese, garnish with celery leaves), Dill & Pickle (add pickles and dill), Smoky Chipotle (add chipotle powder, top with cilantro and avocado).
  12. Spoon or pipe each flavored filling into egg white halves.
  13. Top each flavor with its respective garnish.
  14. Arrange on a platter or tray. Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate for up to 1 day.

Notes

Older eggs peel easier than fresh ones. Chill filling if loose before piping. Taste each filling and adjust seasoning as needed. Make eggs ahead, but fill and garnish just before serving for best results. All variations are naturally gluten-free; for dairy-free, use vegan mayo and skip sour cream/blue cheese. For vegetarian, omit bacon and try roasted red peppers or sun-dried tomatoes.
