Ingredients
Method
- Place eggs in a pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then cover and remove from heat. Let sit for 10 minutes. Drain hot water and cool eggs in an ice bath for 5 minutes.
- Peel and slice eggs in half lengthwise. Carefully remove yolks and place in a bowl. Arrange egg white halves on a serving platter.
- Mash yolks with mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, sweet pickle relish, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Stir in chopped pimentos and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly combined.
- Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture into each egg white half. Sprinkle crumbled bacon and chopped chives over the filled eggs.
- Dust with smoked paprika and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

- For best flavor, prepare deviled eggs a few hours ahead and keep chilled.
- Swap cheddar cheese for pepper jack for a spicy kick.
