Ingredients

12 large eggs

½ cup mayonnaise

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

½ teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Loaded Toppings

½ cup shredded cheddar cheese

2 tablespoons sour cream

2 tablespoons green onions, finely sliced

Paprika, for garnish

Preparation
Step 1: Boil the Eggs

Place eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover, remove from heat, and let sit for 10–12 minutes. Transfer eggs to an ice bath to cool completely.

Step 2: Peel and Halve

Once cooled, peel the eggs carefully. Slice each egg in half lengthwise and gently remove the yolks, placing them in a mixing bowl. Arrange the egg whites on a serving tray.

Step 3: Make the Filling

Mash the egg yolks until smooth. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until creamy and well combined. Fold in sour cream for extra richness.

Step 4: Load the Filling

Stir in half of the shredded cheese, and half of the green onions into the yolk mixture. Mix gently to distribute evenly.

Step 5: Fill and Garnish

Spoon or pipe the filling into the egg whites. Top each deviled egg with remaining cheese, green onions, and a light sprinkle of paprika.

Variations

Spicy Loaded Deviled Eggs: Add chopped jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce.

Ranch-Style: Mix ranch seasoning into the filling.

Avocado Loaded Eggs: Replace half the mayo with mashed avocado.

Low-Carb/Keto: Use full-fat mayo and omit sour cream if desired.

Buffalo Loaded Eggs: Add buffalo sauce and blue cheese crumbles.

Cooking Notes

Use older eggs—they peel more easily than fresh eggs.

Fully cool eggs before peeling to avoid tearing the whites.

Pipe filling for a cleaner, more professional look.

Chill before serving to enhance flavor and texture.

Serving Suggestions

Serve Loaded Deviled Eggs chilled on a decorative platter. They pair perfectly with BBQ spreads, holiday meals, brunch tables, and appetizer boards. Garnish with fresh herbs just before serving for added visual appeal.

Tips

Make the filling a day ahead and store separately for easy assembly.

Use a zip-top bag with the corner snipped for piping.

Taste and adjust seasoning before filling the eggs.

Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
