Ingredients
  

Eggs
  • 12 large eggs
Creamy filling
  • 0.333 cup mayonnaise
  • 0.25 cup sour cream plus more for topping
  • 0.25 cup shredded sharp cheddar plus more for topping
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 0.25 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.25 tsp salt
Toppings
  • 6 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
  • 2 tbsp fresh chives chopped

Equipment

  • 1 Dutch oven

Method
 

Boil and chill the eggs
  1. Place the large eggs in a Dutch oven and cover with cold water, then bring to a boil over high heat. Cover the pot, remove from heat, and let the eggs stand at room temperature for 12 minutes.
  2. Chill the eggs in an ice bath for 10 minutes. Peel them and halve lengthwise.
Make the filling
  1. Mash the yolks with the mayonnaise, sour cream, shredded sharp cheddar, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and salt until smooth. Stir in half the bacon.
Fill and load the tops
  1. Spoon the filling into the egg whites. Top each with a small dollop of sour cream, extra shredded sharp cheddar, the remaining bacon, and the chopped fresh chives.
Chill before serving
  1. Chill the deviled eggs until serving for the best set topping. Keep them cold to maintain the creamy, loaded-potato feel.

Notes

Pro tip: For cleaner halves, peel the eggs under cool running water and keep the yolk filling slightly thicker so it holds its shape when spooned. Refrigerate in a covered container up to 3 days; they do not freeze well due to texture changes in the yolk mixture. For a lighter option, swap half the mayonnaise for plain Greek yogurt while keeping the sour cream for the tangy “loaded potato” profile.
