Description
A festive twist on the classic deviled egg—these Creamy Christmas Stuffed Eggs feature a smooth, flavorful yolk filling with spicy mustard, mayo, and sour cream, topped with pink peppercorns and parsley for holiday flair.
Ingredients
For the Eggs:
- 6 large eggs (boiled for 10 minutes)
For the Filling:
- 1 tablespoon Hellmann’s mayonnaise
- 1½ teaspoons spicy brown mustard
- 1 teaspoon sour cream
- Kosher salt to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
For the Garnish:
- 12 small parsley leaves
- 24 pink peppercorns
Instructions
1. Place 6 large eggs in a pot of cool water, making sure the water just covers the eggs.
2. Put the pot on the stove and set the heat to MEDIUM-HIGH.
3. Boil the eggs for 20 minutes.
4. After boiling, transfer the eggs to a bowl of cold water and let them cool for 5-10 minutes.
5. Once the eggs are cool, carefully tap around the center of each egg to crack the shells.
6. Gently peel the shells, making sure to keep the eggs pristine and free of tears and dents.
7. Slice the peeled eggs in half lengthwise.
8. Carefully remove the yolks and place them in a mesh strainer set over a bowl.
9. Use a spoon to push the yolks through the strainer.
10. In a mixing bowl, combine the strained egg yolks, 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise, 1½ teaspoons of spicy brown mustard, 1 teaspoon of sour cream, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
11. Mix everything together until the filling reaches a creamy consistency similar to hummus.
12. Transfer the creamy yolk mixture to a pastry piping bag.
13. Carefully pipe the filling into the hollowed halves of the egg whites.
14. Finish by garnishing each deviled egg with 2-3 pink peppercorns and a single parsley leaf.
Notes
To peel boiled eggs easily, start from the wider end where there is usually an air pocket.
You can prep the eggs a day in advance and store the whites and filling separately in the fridge.
Use a star-tipped piping bag for a decorative presentation.
