Zesty Sriracha Deviled Eggs 🌶️
A spicy and flavorful twist on classic deviled eggs, perfect as a healthy snack or appetizer.
Equipment
- Medium Saucepan
- Large Bowl (for ice bath)
- Small Food Processor or Mixing Bowl
- Piping Bag (or Ziploc Bag)
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 3 tbsp light mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp Sriracha (adjust to your preferred spice level)
- Pinch salt
- Pinch black pepper
- Smoked paprika for a vibrant garnish
- cayenne pepper for a vibrant garnish
Instructions
- Perfectly Boil Your Eggs: Gently place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover them completely with cold water. Bring the water to a rapid boil over high heat, then immediately turn off the heat. Let the eggs sit covered in the hot water for exactly 12 minutes to cook through.
- Quick Cool Down: While the eggs are resting, prepare a large bowl half-filled with cold water and plenty of ice. Carefully transfer the hot eggs from the pot into this ice bath. Let them cool down completely – this makes them super easy to peel!
- Prep for Filling: Once cooled, remove the hard shells from the eggs and slice each egg neatly in half lengthwise. Gently scoop out the bright yellow yolks into a small food processor or a small mixing bowl. Arrange the clean, empty white halves on your favorite serving platter.
- Whip Up the Zesty Filling: To the egg yolks, add the light mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Sriracha, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. If using a food processor, blend until perfectly smooth and creamy. If mixing by hand, mash and stir until everything is well combined and lump-free.
- Fill and Serve: Spoon the creamy yolk mixture into a piping bag (or a regular ziploc bag with one corner snipped off for a makeshift piping bag). Neatly pipe or spoon the delicious filling back into each egg white half.
- Garnish with a Flair: For a final touch, lightly dust each deviled egg with smoked paprika or a tiny pinch of cayenne pepper for extra color and a hint of smoky flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy this healthy, protein-packed treat!
