A quick and easy deviled eggs recipe with a creamy mayo base and a spicy kick from sriracha, perfect for appetizers, snacks, or potlucks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons sriracha sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Smoked paprika, for garnish
  • Chopped fresh chives or green onions (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place 6 large eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by about an inch. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, then remove from heat and cover the pot. Let sit for 10-12 minutes for fully hard-boiled eggs.
  2. Drain the hot water and immediately transfer the eggs to an ice bath. Let chill for 5-10 minutes to make peeling easier.
  3. Gently tap each egg on the counter and roll to crack the shell. Peel carefully under running water if needed.
  4. Slice each egg in half lengthwise. Scoop out the yolks into a mixing bowl and mash with a fork until crumbly but not powdery.
  5. Add mayonnaise, sriracha (start with 1 teaspoon), Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper to the mashed yolks. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning and sriracha to taste.
  6. Fill each egg white half with the yolk mixture using a spoon or piping bag, mounding slightly.
  7. Sprinkle smoked paprika on top and add chopped chives or green onions if desired. Serve immediately or chill up to 2 hours before serving.

Notes

Use eggs that are about a week old for easier peeling. Adjust sriracha to your preferred heat level. If filling is too thick, add a splash of milk or more mayo; if too runny, add more mashed yolk. Can substitute Greek yogurt for mayo for a lighter version. Store leftovers refrigerated up to 2 days. Not recommended to freeze.
