Ingredients
  

For the Filling:
  • 6 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard For a zesty kick
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • Quality truffle oil A little goes a long way
  • 2 teaspoons snipped chives Plus additional for garnish
  • Shaved truffles Optional for luxury
  • Kosher salt To season to taste
  • freshly-ground black pepper To season to taste

Equipment

  • Medium saucepan
  • Mixing bowl
  • Fork or potato masher
  • Pastry bag or zip-top bag
  • Sharp knife
  • Serving Platter

Method
 

Instructions:
  1. Start by placing the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium heat. Once it reaches a rolling boil, cover the saucepan with a lid, remove it from the heat, and let it sit for about 12 minutes.
  2. While the eggs are cooking, prepare a bowl of ice water. This will help stop the cooking process and make peeling the eggs easier.
  3. After 12 minutes, transfer the eggs to the ice bath. Allow them to cool for at least 5 minutes before peeling.
  4. Gently tap each egg on a hard surface to crack the shell, then peel under running water if necessary to remove any stubborn bits.
  5. Slice the eggs in half lengthwise and remove the yolks. Place the yolks in a mixing bowl and add the mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, truffle oil, chives, salt, and pepper. Mash together until smooth and creamy.
  6. Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves. If using a piping bag, cut off the tip for a nice decorative finish.
  7. Top each filled egg with a drizzle of truffle oil and a sprinkle of additional chives. For an extra touch of luxury, add shaved truffles on top. Arrange your Truffled Deviled Eggs on a serving platter and enjoy!

Notes

  • For perfectly cooked eggs, consider using a pressure cooker or an Instant Pot for a foolproof method.
  • Experiment with flavored oils or add a dash of hot sauce for a spicy kick.
  • Make these ahead of time! They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days before serving.
  • If you’re feeling adventurous, try adding other herbs like dill or parsley for a unique twist.
