Ingredients

- 12 large eggs (about 600 g)
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp (30 ml) sour cream or crème fraîche
- 2 tbsp (30 ml) prepared horseradish
- 1 tsp (5 ml) Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp (5 ml) fresh lemon juice
- 3/4 tsp (4 g) fine salt
- 1/4 tsp (0.5 g) freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp (6 g) fresh chives, finely chopped
- 1 tsp (2 g) sweet paprika, for garnish

Instructions

1. Place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover with cold water by about 1 inch (2.5 cm). Bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat, then remove from heat, cover, and let sit 10–12 minutes for fully set yolks.
2. Drain and transfer eggs to an ice bath; chill 5 minutes. Peel the eggs and pat dry.
3. Halve the eggs lengthwise and carefully remove the yolks to a medium bowl. Arrange the empty whites on a platter or tray.
4. Mash the yolks with a fork until crumbly. Add mayonnaise, sour cream, prepared horseradish, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth and creamy; taste and adjust seasoning or horseradish to preference. Fold in 1 tablespoon (3 g) of the chopped chives, reserving the rest for garnish.
5. Transfer the yolk mixture to a piping bag fitted with a large star or round tip, or use a small spoon. Pipe or spoon the filling into the egg white halves, mounding slightly.
6. Sprinkle the filled eggs with sweet paprika and the remaining chopped chives. Cover and chill at least 15–30 minutes to let flavors meld before serving.
