Ingredients

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 4 large eggs, hard cooked, peeled, and halved lengthwise
  • 3 tablespoons sour cream or 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon minced scallion top
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 canned chipotle chile in adobo, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon adobo sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish

Directions

  1. Add the cumin to a small dry skillet and toast over low heat until fragrant, about 10 seconds; transfer to a small plate to cool.

  2. Carefully remove the yolks from the whites; place the whites cut side up on a plate.

  3. With the back of a spoon, press yolks through a sieve into a small bowl, or mash them in the bowl with a fork.

  4. Add in the sour cream, scallion greens, lime juice, chipotle, adobo sauce, and cumin; mash with a fork until blended, then beat with a wooden spoon until the yolk mixture is smooth and fluffy; add in salt.

  5. Using a teaspoon, carefully stuff the whites with the yolk mixture, mounding the tops.

  6. Garnish each stuffed egg with a sprinkling of cilantro; serve at room temperature or chilled.
