Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces large eggs
- 0.333 cup mayonnaise
- 0.333 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup diced pimentos
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped chives or green onions (for garnish)
Instructions
Place the eggs in a large saucepan and cover them with water by about 1 inch. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once the water is boiling, cover the saucepan with a lid, turn off the heat, and let the eggs sit for 10 minutes to fully cook.
After 10 minutes, transfer the eggs to an ice water bath to cool for 5 minutes. Peel the eggs carefully and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Slice each egg in half lengthwise. Gently scoop out the yolks and place them into a medium mixing bowl. Arrange the halved egg whites on a serving platter.
Mash the egg yolks with a fork until smooth. Add the mayonnaise, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, diced pimentos, dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly until well combined. Taste the mixture and adjust the seasonings if needed.
Transfer the pimento cheese filling to a piping bag (or use a resealable plastic bag with a corner snipped off). Pipe the filling into the hollow centers of the egg whites, mounding it slightly above the surface.
Sprinkle chopped chives or green onions over the top of the stuffed eggs for garnish.
Refrigerate the deviled eggs for at least 15–20 minutes before serving. Serve chilled and enjoy!
