Deviled Eggs with Sour Cream
Instead of mayonnaise, these loaded deviled eggs use sour cream to bind the ingredients. You will love the tangy flavor, and it works perfectly with the bacon, chives, and cheese to make this appetizer taste like mini-loaded baked potatoes.
These are so easy to make and just easy to polish off 4 or 5. No judgment.

How long to Boil Eggs for Deviled Eggs
To get perfect deviled eggs, you’ll want to boil the eggs for 13 minutes.
It’s long enough for the egg white and yolks to cook through but not so long that they overcook. I’ve used this method for years to make perfect hard-boiled eggs.
The peeling step can also be tricky, and if you want to avoid removing half the egg white with the shell attached, check out these tips and easy methods for peeling hard-boiled eggs. Those shells will glide off.
