Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 7 eggs eggs (preferably about a week old)
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream (see notes)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (or more)
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard (not Dijon)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground chipotle chile peppers (more or less to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (see notes)
  • 2 green onions (green part only, finely chopped)

Equipment

  • Medium saucepan
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Fork or potato masher
  • Spoon or piping bag
  • Serving platter

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Start by placing your eggs in a medium saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the pan with a lid and remove it from heat. Let the eggs sit for 12-15 minutes.
  2. After the eggs have cooked, transfer them to an ice bath or run them under cold water to stop the cooking process. Once they are cool to the touch, gently tap the eggs on a hard surface to crack the shells and peel them under running water for easier removal.
  3. Slice each egg in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out the yolks into a mixing bowl. Add the mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, yellow mustard, ground chipotle, and salt to the bowl. Mash everything together until smooth and creamy.
  4. Give the filling a taste and adjust the lime juice, chipotle, and salt according to your preference. If you like it spicier, feel free to add more chipotle!
  5. Using a spoon or piping bag, fill each egg white half with the spicy yolk mixture. You can make them as neat or as rustic as you like!
  6. Sprinkle the finely chopped green onions on top of the filled eggs for a pop of color and flavor. Arrange them on a serving platter and serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, substitute Greek yogurt for the mayonnaise and sour cream.
  • Use avocado instead of mayonnaise for a creamy, dairy-free option.
  • Swap yellow mustard for a spicy mustard if you prefer an extra kick.
