Servings: 12 deviled eggs
Calories: 56kcal
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs, room temperature
- 3 Tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons Sriracha
- ⅛ teaspoon smoked paprika, plus more for garnish
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Place eggs in a large saucepan and cover them with cool water by 1 inch. Slowly bring the water to a boil over medium (not high) heat. When the water has reached a boil, cover and remove from heat. Let sit for 12 minutes.
- While the eggs are cooking, prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with ice and 2 cups of water.
- Transfer the cooked eggs to the ice bath, and let them sit for 10-15 minutes.
- Once the eggs have cooled completely, peel and slice them in half lengthwise.
- Using a teaspoon, gently scoop the yolks into a small bowl and place the egg whites on a serving platter.
- Using a fork, mash the yolks until a paste-like consistency forms. Add in mayonnaise, mustard, Sriracha, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper, and stir to combine well. Taste filling and season as necessary.
- Using a spoon or pastry bag, add about 1 teaspoon of filling into each hollowed-out egg white. Garnish with smoked paprika and scallions (if using). Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve, up to 3 days.
Notes
- How to store deviled eggs: Although they are best fresh, any leftover deviled eggs can be placed in an airtight container and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Make in advance: Assemble the eggs, place in an airtight container, and store in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before serving. Alternatively, eggs can be hard-boiled up to 3 days in advance and stored in the fridge until ready to use.
- For a beautiful presentation, use a pastry bag to pipe the filling into the egg whites.
- How to serve: Serve deviled eggs with Sriracha as an appetizer, snack, as an addition to your holiday table, or bring them to your next potluck or picnic. Pair them with grapefruit vodka cocktail, smoky hummus, and tomato tart for a delicious celebration.
- Starting with room temperature eggs will make for easier peeling.
