Spicy Deviled Eggs
Spicy deviled eggs have a fiery twist, a perfect upgrade from the classic with a hint of Sriracha and cayenne pepper.
Servings: 6
Equipment
- 1 medium sauce pan/pot
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 3 Tbsp mayonnaise *more if needed
- 2 tsp dijon mustard
- 2 Tbsp Sriracha *more to taste as needed
- ¼ tsp each salt & pepper
- ¼ tsp paprika
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper *more to taste as needed
- 1 tsp pickled Jalapeno juice or apple cider vinegar
Toppings
- 1 Tbsp green onions, finely chopped
- 1-2 Tbsp Pickled Jalapeño, finely chopped or fresh jalapeño
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan gently add the eggs, fill with cool water until the eggs are completely covered. Place on high heat and bring to a boil. Boil the eggs gently for about 8- 10 minutes.
- Once the eggs have cooked, drain the hot water, add 4 cups of cold water and los of ice cubes. Let the eggs soak for about 2 minutes and then peel.
- Slice eggs in half lengthwise. In a small bowl add the yolks from the eggs, use a spoon and gently pop them out. Add mayo, sriracha, dijon, seasonings, vinegar and mix well until the mix is creamy and lumps are out. You can use an immersion blender if needed.
- Once the mix is ready, gently fill the centers of the egg whites with the yolk mix. I like to use a little spoon and add it, you can also use an icing piper, but I find that the mix gets left behind in the bag and runs out quickly without filling all the whites
- When the eggs are filled, transfer to the serving dish, sprinkle green onions, finely diced jalapeños and enjoy!
Notes
- Egg boil time will vary a tad bit depending on area.
- Sprinkle panko breadcrumbs or bacon on top for added crunch.
- Make them lower in calorie by using less mayo and more pickle juice.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
