Add 6 large eggs to a pot of cool water. boil them for 20 minutes. Once boiled, place them in a bowl of cold water for 10 minutes. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
1.
Once the eggs are cool, remove the shells by carefully tapping around the center and peeling. Crack and peel very carefully so the egg is pristine and free of tears and dents.

3.
Slice the eggs in half. Slice a tiny bit off the bottom so your deviled eggs sit perfectly flat.
4.
Carefully remove the yolks and place them in a bowl. They’ll almost always slide out if you’re gentle, so you don’t have you use a spoon.
Push the yolks through a mesh strainer. This will break up the yolks and ensure that your filling is perfectly smooth when you mix in your other ingredients.

6.
In a small mixing bowl, mix egg yolks, 1 tbsp. mayo, 1 tsp. sour cream, 1½ tsp. spicy brown mustard and a tiny sprinkle of salt & pepper to taste. Cover with cellophane.
7.
In a small bowl, mix 1 tsp. smoked Spanish paprika, 1 tsp. cayenne pepper and 1 tsp. Old Bay seasoning. Sprinkle onto a plate. Dip rims of your eggs in the spices.
Slice a few spicy olives and fill your beautiful deviled eggs. Place an olive slice in each and sprinkle with a tiny amount of poppy seeds.
