Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 large eggs
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce
- 1.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 jalapeño, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons cilantro, finely chopped
- 2 slices crumbled bacon (optional)
Instructions
Place the eggs in a large pot and cover them with cold water by about 1 inch.
Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat. Once boiling, remove the pot from heat, cover with a lid, and let the eggs sit for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, transfer the eggs to an ice bath and let them cool completely for about 5 minutes.
Peel the eggs carefully and slice them in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and transfer them to a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Mash the yolks with a fork until crumbled and smooth.
Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, hot sauce, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, lime juice, salt, and black pepper to the yolks. Mix thoroughly to create a creamy filling.
Fold in the finely diced jalapeño and cilantro, ensuring they're evenly distributed.
Using a piping bag or a small spoon, fill the hollowed-out egg whites with the yolk mixture. Be generous with the filling.
Sprinkle the tops of the filled eggs with a pinch of smoked paprika and, if desired, crumbled bacon for added texture and flavor.
Refrigerate the filled eggs for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the Huevos Diablos chilled as a bold appetizer or snack.
