Author:
Serves: 12
Ingredients
- 1 dozen large eggs
- 1/2 cup finely shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons chopped chives
- 6 teaspoons chopped canned chipotle chilies in adobo sauce, or more to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
- Pinch of kosher salt
Instructions
- Put the eggs in a saucepan, cover with cold water by 1 inch, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes; then drain and immediately plunge the eggs into an ice bath to cool.
- Peel the eggs, slice in half lengthwise, and scoop out the yolks. Put the whites on a platter. Pass the yolks through a sieve in a medium bowl, or just mash with a fork. Mix in the cheese, mayo, sour cream, chives (reserving 1 teaspoon for garnish), chipotles, paprika and salt.
- Use a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch tip to pipe the filling into the whites — or, if you’re less fancy, use 2 spoons. Sprinkle with the reserved chives. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate until serving, which should be within one day.
