Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Hard-Boil the Eggs

1. Place the eggs in a single layer in a large pot. Cover with cold water, about 1 inch above the eggs.
2. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
3. Once boiling, turn off the heat, cover the pot, and let the eggs sit for 10–12 minutes.
4. Transfer the eggs to an ice water bath to cool completely before peeling.

Step 2: Prepare the Filling

1. Peel the cooled eggs and slice them in half lengthwise.
2. Gently scoop out the yolks into a mixing bowl and set the whites aside.
3. Mash the yolks with a fork until finely crumbled.
4. Add mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, sweet pickle relish, sugar, vinegar, salt, and pepper to the yolks.
5. Mix until smooth and creamy. For an ultra-smooth filling, use a hand mixer.

Step 3: Fill the Egg Whites

1. Spoon the yolk mixture into a piping bag or a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off.
2. Pipe the filling into the cavity of each egg white half, generously mounding it up.

Step 4: Garnish and Serve

1. Sprinkle paprika over the top of the filled eggs for color and a slight smoky flavor.
2. Garnish with chopped chives, parsley, or crispy bacon bits if desired.
3. Arrange on a serving platter and keep chilled until ready to serve.

Tips for the Best Million Dollar Deviled Eggs
Use Fresh Eggs – Fresher eggs are harder to peel, so slightly older eggs work best for easy peeling.
Ice Bath After Boiling – Helps stop the cooking process and makes peeling a breeze.
Mash Yolks Well – A smooth yolk base makes for the silkiest filling.
Use a Piping Bag – For a clean and elegant presentation.
Customize to Taste – Add a dash of hot sauce, extra mustard, or a little horseradish for a spicy kick.

Serving Suggestions

• Classic Party Platter: Serve alongside veggies, cheeses, and crackers.
• Brunch Spread: Pair with fruit salad, pastries, and coffee for a complete menu.
• Holiday Table: A must-have side for Easter, Thanksgiving, or Christmas dinners.
• Appetizer Board: Mix them with meats, olives, and nuts for a fun grazing board.

How to Store & Reheat

Storing:

• Cover deviled eggs tightly and refrigerate for up to 2 days for best flavor and texture.
• Store in a single layer to avoid squishing the filling.

Reheating:

• No reheating needed! Serve deviled eggs chilled straight from the fridge.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I make Million Dollar Deviled Eggs ahead of time?
   Yes! Prepare the filling and egg whites separately and assemble just before serving to keep them fresh.
2. How do I transport deviled eggs without a mess?
   Use a deviled egg carrier or place small pieces of crumpled foil under each egg to stabilize them in a container.
3. Can I make these deviled eggs spicier?
   Absolutely! Add a pinch of cayenne pepper, a splash of hot sauce, or diced jalapeños to the filling.
4. Can I use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream?
