Method
Boil the eggs
- Place the eggs in a pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then cover the pot, remove from heat, and let stand for 12 minutes.
- Transfer the eggs to an ice bath and chill for 10 minutes. Peel and halve lengthwise so the yolks are ready to mash.
Make the filling and fill the eggs
- Mash the yolks with mayonnaise, sour cream, shredded sharp cheddar, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and salt. Mix in half the cooked and crumbled bacon until evenly combined.
- Spoon the filling into the egg whites. Top each with a small dollop of sour cream, extra shredded cheddar, remaining bacon, and chopped chives.
Chill and serve
- Chill the deviled eggs until serving. Keep them covered so the filling stays creamy and the toppings look fresh.
Notes
For the cleanest halves, halve the eggs lengthwise right after peeling while they’re still cold. Refrigerate in a covered container for up to 3 days; freezing is not recommended because the yolk filling and toppings lose texture. For a lighter option, swap regular mayonnaise for avocado-based or olive-oil mayonnaise without changing the amounts.
