Ingredients
Instructions
- Hard‑cook the eggs, then rinse under cold water and cool.
- Peel the shells and cut each egg in half lengthwise, removing yolks into a bowl.
- In a skillet, sauté onions and chopped mushrooms in a small amount of shortening until tender.
- Add the sautéed mixture to the yolks and mash together.
- Stir in dry mustard, lemon juice, chopped parsley, seasoned salt, seasoned pepper, and sour cream until smooth.
- Fill the egg whites with the prepared mixture using a spoon or piping bag.
- Sprinkle a light dusting of paprika over each stuffed egg for a polished look.

Tips & Substitutions
For an extra flavor boost, consider adding a splash of hot sauce or a pinch of garlic powder to the filling. If you don’t have sour cream, Greek yogurt makes a great substitute. For a vegetarian twist, try using sautéed spinach instead of mushrooms. Ensure your eggs are properly hard-cooked for easier peeling. If you need to save time, you can use store-bought deviled egg filling as a base.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I prepare these deviled eggs ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the filling a day in advance and store it in the fridge. Just fill the egg whites right before serving to keep them fresh. This makes them a great option for meal prep or parties, allowing you to save time on the day of the event.
How do I prevent the egg yolks from turning green?
To prevent a greenish hue around the yolks, avoid overcooking the eggs. Cook them just until hard, then cool them immediately in ice water to stop the cooking process. This will help maintain a vibrant yellow color and ensure a creamy texture in your filling.
What can I do with leftover egg whites?
Leftover egg whites can be used in various recipes. Consider making an egg white omelette, adding them to smoothies for protein, or using them in baked goods like meringues or angel food cake. They can also be frozen for later use, just be sure to store them in an airtight container.
