Ingredients (+ notes & substitutions)
- Large eggs
- Mayonnaise: Full or light mayo.
- Sour cream: I like the little bit of tang that sour cream adds but you could replace it with more mayonnaise if you so choose.
- Fresh chives: For the yolk mixture as well as for garnishing.
- Fresh parsley
- Lemon juice: For brightness and balance. Fresh or bottled will work.
- Tarragon: If you have fresh tarragon available, I recommend using that. However, since the recipe calls for so little, using dried is perfectly acceptable. If you opt to use dried tarragon, you will only need 3/4 teaspoon as it is more concentrated in flavor.
- Garlic: One small/medium clove will be plenty.
- Black pepper: Preferably freshly cracked.
- Kosher salt
- Capers: These small green flower buds come pickled, adding a nice little pop of salt and acid to the dish in the form of garnishment. If you’re not a big fan of capers or don’t have any feel free to leave them out.
How to make green goddess deviled eggs? (+ tips)
1. Place the eggs in a saucepan and add enough water to cover them by about one inch. Bring to a boil, remove from heat, and cover. Allow the eggs to rest in the hot water for 12-14 minutes with the lid on then transfer to a bowl of ice water or run them under cold water until cool. ***If you have a different method for boiling eggs you are more than welcome to do it another way.
2. Peel the eggs, then slice them in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and transfer them to the bowl of a food processor. Processing the yolk mixture in a food processor results in the creamiest texture. If you do not, however, own a food processor you can simply mash the yolks with a fork. ***A mini food processor works best.
3. Add the mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, garlic, parsley, chives, tarragon, salt, and black pepper.
Pulse until smooth and combined. Add salt and black pepper to taste.
4. Pipe or spoon the yolk mixture into the egg whites, garnish with fresh chopped chives and capers (optional). ****For beautiful eggs, I highly recommend piping it in. I have included an Amazon link below for my favorite piping instrument. It’s super affordable and has all sorts of uses.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for later.
Storage
Although the eggs are best enjoyed within two days, they will keep refrigerated in an airtight container for up to four days.
