Ingredients

10 hard-boiled eggs peeled
3 tbsp cream cheese
2 tbsp mayonnaise
¼ cup pimento cheese shredded
¼ cup Monterey Jack shredded
2 tbsp pimento peppers diced
1 tsp hot sauce
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp chives chopped
1 tsp parsley chopped
salt and pepper

Instructions

Use a sharp knife to slice the eggs in half, lengthwise
Carefully scoop the yolks out of the egg white and place them into the bowl of a blender. Then arrange the whites onto a plate.
Add the rest of the ingredients into the bowl of the blender along with the egg yolks. Blend until smooth.
Scoop the yolk mix into a piping bag.
Pipe the yolk mix into the egg whites and decorate with the rest of the paprika.

Notes

Serve chilled. The time spent in the fridge will make the eggs easier to handle and allow the flavors to meld.
Save some pimento peppers and use them as garnish, setting one atop each egg.
If you aren't bothered about the refined appearance the piping bag can provide, roughly mash your mix with a fork, leaving chunks of the cheese and pepper present. The change in texture might be appreciated.
