Spicy Deviled Eggs

Eggs With A Devilish Kick!

About

Deviled eggs are a common starter for many holiday meals. Plain old Mayo, Salt, and Pepper has always left something to be desired for me.

Every once in a while, you get to try a spin on a traditional family favorite, and it brings new life to a classic dish.

I've sampled many variations, and this variation is my own take one of my favorites by my family.

You Will Need (9 things)

  • 6 Hard Boiled Eggs
  • 5 tbsp Mayo
  • 1 tbsp Yellow Mustard
  • 1 tbsp Wasabi
  • Pepper to taste
  • 1 pinch Kosher Salt
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder
  • Ground Paprika (Garnish)

Steps (4 steps, 40 minutes)

  1. 1

    Shell and half 6 Hard Boiled Eggs.

    Method: Stick eggs into a pot, and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over med-hi heat. Turn off burner, cover with lid, and remove from heat and let sit for at least 10minutes.

    Using tongs, gently remove the eggs from the pot, and place into a strainer under cold running water.

    Tap the bottom of each egg against the strainer to begin cracking the shell.

    Keep cracked eggs in strainer, and one-by-one, de-shell each egg under the cold running water.

  2. 2

    Once peeled, cut each egg in half, and gently scoop the yolks out with a spoon into an empty bowl.
    Arrange the now hollowed eggs onto your desired serving dish ( I just used a small plate).

  3. 3

    In the bowl with the egg yolks, add:

    + 5 tablespoons of Mayonnaise.
    + 1 tablespoon Yellow Mustard.
    + 1 tablespoon Wasabi [you may do this to-taste if 1TBSP seems daunting].
    + 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder.
    + 1 teaspoon Onion Powder.
    + Kosher Salt & Pepper to taste.

    Mix/Whip thoroughly with a fork until smooth (but not runny).

    If your mixture is crumbly, add a bit more mayo (and perhaps more mustard for balance) and continue to whip until smooth.

    *If you're using larger than Medium eggs, you may need to adjust a bit. The mixture should have a kick to it without being overwhelmingly spicy, or dry.

  4. 4

    Once your egg halves are arranged to your liking, use a spoon to distribute the filling evenly into each of the halves.

    Garnish by gently sprinkling paprika over all.

    Serve immediately, or chill until company arrives!

    Enjoy!
