Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces large eggs
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce (e.g., Sriracha or your favorite brand)
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon white vinegar
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 6 pieces jalapeño slices (optional, for garnish)
- 0.25 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover them with cold water by about 1 inch.
Bring the water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the saucepan with a lid, remove it from heat, and let it stand for 12 minutes.
While the eggs cook, prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with ice water.
After 12 minutes, transfer the eggs to the ice bath to cool completely (about 5 minutes).
Once cool, gently tap each egg on a hard surface to crack the shell, and peel carefully under running water.
Slice the peeled eggs in half lengthwise and gently remove the yolks, placing them in a medium mixing bowl. Place the whites on a serving platter, cut side up.
Mash the egg yolks with a fork until smooth. Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, hot sauce, paprika, cayenne pepper, white vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until the filling is creamy and evenly combined.
Spoon or pipe the filling back into the egg white halves, dividing it evenly among the 12 halves.
Optional: Garnish each deviled egg with a slice of jalapeño and a light dusting of smoked paprika for extra flavor and a decorative touch.
Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve. Enjoy your Spicy Deviled Eggs!
