Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Boil the Eggs
Place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover with cold water.
Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, remove from heat and cover.
Let sit for 10–12 minutes, then transfer to an ice bath to cool completely.

Step 2: Peel and Slice
Once cooled, peel the eggs and gently pat dry.
Slice each egg in half lengthwise.
Scoop out the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl. Set the whites aside.

Step 3: Make the Filling
Mash the yolks with a fork until crumbly.
Add mayonnaise, both mustards, vinegar, sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, melted butter, cream cheese, salt, and pepper.
Use a whisk or electric hand mixer to beat the filling until smooth and creamy.

Step 4: Fill the Egg Whites
Spoon or pipe the filling into the hollowed-out egg whites.
If using a piping bag, a star tip adds a pretty touch.
Fill each half generously.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve
Sprinkle with paprika for color.
Top with chopped chives or parsley for freshness.
Add a tiny slice of pickle or jalapeño if you want a bit of contrast or heat.
