Pipe into egg whites:
Fill egg yolk mix into pastry bag fitted with a star tip. Pipe evenly into egg white halves.
Finish:
Garnish each deviled egg with ground paprika and chives to serve.

Cooking Tips

I like to boil the eggs around 10-12 minutes, to make sure the yolks are firm. I also often use leftover dyed Easter eggs to make deviled eggs for a quick supper with a salad on the side!
The eggs turn out the richest with mayo, but they are also very good and slightly fresh/tangy with sour cream. Greek yogurt makes them the lightest!
If you don’t have a pastry bag or don’t feel like piping, you can just spoon the filling into the eggs. They won’t look so neat, but are just as delicious!
