Perfectly creamy and rich, these eggs are elevated by the addition of spicy ingredients like sriracha or hot sauce and a touch of cayenne pepper, which balance beautifully with the tangy mustard and mayonnaise base. Garnished with a sprinkle of paprika or thinly sliced jalapeños, these deviled eggs are not only a visual delight but also a flavor-packed treat that’s sure to be a hit at your next party or family dinner.
Ingredients:
- 12 large eggs
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sriracha or hot sauce (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Paprika, for garnish
- Sliced jalapeños or chopped chives, for garnish
Instructions:
- Boil the Eggs:
- Place the eggs in a single layer in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring the water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
- Once boiling, remove the pot from heat and cover. Let the eggs sit for 10-12 minutes.
- Cool and Peel the Eggs:
- Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water and let them cool for at least 5 minutes. This will make them easier to peel.
- Gently peel the eggs and slice them in half lengthwise.
- Prepare the Filling:
- Remove the yolks from the egg halves and place them in a mixing bowl. Set the egg whites aside.
- Mash the yolks with a fork until smooth. Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, sriracha, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined and creamy.
- Fill the Egg Whites:
- Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves, evenly distributing the filling.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Sprinkle the deviled eggs with paprika for a pop of color.
- Garnish with sliced jalapeños or chopped chives for an extra touch of flavor and presentation.
Enjoy your Spicy Deviled Eggs, a zesty and flavorful appetizer that’s perfect for any occasion!
