# What You'll Need:

→ For the Deviled Eggs

01 - 12 large eggs
02 - 80 millilitres mayonnaise
03 - 30 millilitres sour cream
04 - 15 millilitres Dijon mustard
05 - 15 millilitres sweet pickle relish
06 - 5 millilitres sugar
07 - 2.5 millilitres white vinegar
08 - 2.5 millilitres salt
09 - 1.25 millilitres black pepper

→ For Garnish

10 - Paprika, for sprinkling
11 - Fresh chives or parsley, finely chopped
12 - Crispy bacon bits (optional)

# Step-by-Step Directions:

01 - Place eggs in a single layer in a large pot. Cover with cold water until the water is about 2.5 centimetres above the eggs. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then remove from heat, cover, and let the eggs sit for 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer eggs to an ice water bath and cool completely before peeling.
02 - Gently peel cooled eggs and slice in half lengthwise. Carefully remove yolks and place them in a mixing bowl; set egg whites aside. Mash yolks with a fork until finely crumbed. Add mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, sweet pickle relish, sugar, vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the filling is smooth and creamy, using a hand mixer for best texture.
03 - Spoon the yolk mixture into a piping bag or a zip-top bag with the corner cut off. Pipe or spoon the filling into each egg white half, generously mounding the mixture.
04 - Sprinkle filled eggs with paprika and garnish with chopped chives, parsley, or crispy bacon bits if desired. Arrange on a serving platter and keep chilled until ready to serve.

# Helpful Notes:

01 - Slightly older eggs peel more easily after boiling.
02 - Cool eggs in ice water after cooking to halt the cooking process and ensure easy peeling.
03 - Mash yolks thoroughly for the smoothest filling.
04 - Use a piping bag or plastic bag with a snipped tip for a refined presentation.
05 - Customise the filling by adding hot sauce, additional mustard, or horseradish to taste.
06 - Prepare filling and whites in advance, storing separately, and assemble just before serving for optimal freshness.
