These creamy cheese-stuffed deviled eggs with roasted garlic offer a rich, flavorful twist on the classic appetizer, perfect for potlucks, holiday gatherings, or any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs (hard-boiled, peeled)
  • 4 oz cream cheese (softened to room temperature)
  • 1/4 cup sharp cheddar cheese (finely shredded)
  • 1 whole head of garlic (roasted until soft and golden)
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
  • Smoked paprika (for garnish, optional)
  • Fresh chives (finely chopped, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Place 6 large eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by about an inch. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat (about 10 minutes). Once boiling, turn off the heat, cover the pan, and let sit for 12 minutes.
  2. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the top off a whole garlic head to expose the cloves. Drizzle with olive oil and wrap tightly in aluminum foil. Roast for 35-40 minutes until cloves are soft and caramelized. Let cool.
  3. Drain the eggs and run under cold water to cool. Peel carefully and slice each egg in half lengthwise. Gently remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl.
  4. Mash the egg yolks with softened cream cheese using a fork or hand mixer until smooth and creamy. Add about 1-2 teaspoons of mashed roasted garlic cloves, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, and shredded cheddar cheese. Mix well. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Spoon or pipe the creamy cheese mixture back into the egg white halves, dividing evenly.
  6. Sprinkle smoked paprika and finely chopped chives on top. Chill the deviled eggs in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

If filling is too thick, add a splash of milk or dairy-free milk to loosen. If too runny, add more cream cheese or cheddar. Roasting garlic ahead and refrigerating is recommended. For dairy-free version, use vegan cream cheese and mayonnaise. Can add jalapeños for a spicy twist.
