Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 Large eggs
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Sour cream
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 Jalapeño, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, finely chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon Smoked paprika (for garnish)
- 2 Cherry tomatoes, diced (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the eggs in a single layer in a large saucepan and cover them with water, about 1 inch above the eggs.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then remove the saucepan from the heat and cover it with a lid. Set a timer for 12 minutes.
After 12 minutes, transfer the eggs immediately to a large bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them cool for at least 5 minutes.
Once the eggs are cooled, gently tap them on a hard surface to crack the shells. Peel the eggs and slice them in half lengthwise.
Carefully scoop out the yolks into a medium mixing bowl and set the egg whites aside on a serving platter.
Mash the yolks with a fork until they are crumbly and fine in texture.
Add the mayonnaise, sour cream, lime juice, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to the yolks. Mix together until smooth and creamy.
Fold in the finely diced jalapeño and chopped cilantro into the yolk mixture for additional texture and flavor.
Using a small spoon or piping bag, fill each egg white half with the yolk mixture, creating a small mound in the center.
Sprinkle the tops of the filled eggs with smoked paprika for a pop of color and flavor.
Optional: Garnish each egg with a small piece of diced cherry tomato for an extra festive touch.
Chill the deviled eggs in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes before serving. Serve cold and enjoy!
