# Instructions:

01 - Place eggs in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover, remove from heat, and let sit for 12 minutes.
02 - Transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water and let cool for at least 5 minutes.
03 - Gently crack, peel, and rinse eggs under running water. Pat dry with a paper towel.
04 - Slice eggs in half lengthwise. Carefully remove yolks and place them in a mixing bowl. Set egg whites aside.
05 - Add mayonnaise, cream cheese, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the yolks. Mash and mix until smooth and creamy.
06 - Fold in the chopped chives until evenly distributed.
07 - Fill each egg white half with the yolk mixture using a piping bag or small spoon.
08 - Sprinkle paprika and extra chives over the filled eggs for garnish. Arrange on a platter and serve chilled.

# Pro Tips:

01 -
  • The cream cheese creates an incredibly silky texture that ordinary deviled eggs just cannot match
  • These disappear faster than any appetizer I have ever served, without fail
02 -
  • Peel the eggs while they are still slightly warm, once they are fully cold the membrane sticks and you will lose chunks of white
  • The filling needs to be thoroughly smooth before piping because any lumps will clog your bag
03 -
  • Buy your eggs a week before you plan to make them, older eggs peel so much easier than fresh ones
  • Use the widest part of your piping tip when filling to create those beautiful ridges
