(32,723 posts)Boil a dozen eggs for 12 minutes in a small pot. Pour off the hot water and pour in cold to cover the eggs with a 1/4 cup of vinegar. Let stand for five minutes. Pour off and flood with cold water to cool the eggs. Peel the eggs (the vinegar earlier nailed the membrane between the shell and the whites making peeling a breeze.) cut the eggs in half and scoop out the hard yokes into a bowl and lay the whites out on a tray. Mix in the bowl with the egg yokes 1/4 tablespoon of salt (or to taste) and 4 tablespoons of sour cream and 4 tablespoons of cream cheese. Whip it together with a fork making sure all of the half egg yokes are broken up and mixed. Add a little more sour cream if it seems too thick. Use two forks to fill the half egg whites. Garnish with paprika. Some folks just use mayo or (urp) Miracle Whip. Some add a touch of vinegar to the yoke mix.
