Ingredients
6 large eggs
2 oz cream cheese, softened
3 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp white vinegar
1 tsp granulated sugar
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Paprika, for garnish
Fresh chives or parsley, finely chopped (optional, for garnish)
Optional Add-ins or Toppings:
Sliced green olives
Crispy turkey or beef bacon bits
Jalapeño slices for heat
Everything bagel seasoning
Instructions
Step 1: Hard-Boil the Eggs
Place eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water.
Bring to a boil, then remove from heat, cover, and let sit for 10-12 minutes.
Drain and cool eggs under cold running water or in an ice bath.
Step 2: Peel and Halve the Eggs
Once cooled, gently peel the eggs and slice each one in half lengthwise.
Scoop out the yolks and transfer them to a bowl. Set the whites aside on a serving tray.
Step 3: Make the Million Dollar Filling
To the yolks, add softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, vinegar, and sugar.
Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Mash and mix until completely smooth and creamy. Use a hand mixer for the silkiest texture.
Step 4: Fill the Egg Whites
Transfer the filling into a piping bag or zip-top bag with the tip snipped off.
Pipe the yolk mixture into each egg white half, filling generously.
Step 5: Garnish & Serve
Sprinkle the tops with paprika and chopped chives or parsley.
Add optional toppings if desired for extra flair and flavor.
Chill for 30 minutes before serving for best taste and texture.
Notes
Use Older Eggs – Slightly older eggs peel more easily after boiling.
Chill Before Peeling – An ice bath helps eggs peel cleanly.
Whip the Filling – A hand mixer makes the filling ultra-smooth and fluffy.
Don’t Skip the Sugar – Just a touch balances the tanginess beautifully.
Make it Ahead – Store the egg whites and filling separately, then assemble before serving.
