Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 large eggs
Filling Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 tablespoons (22.5 milliliters) mayonnaise
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 milliliters) Sriracha sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 milliliters) Dijon mustard
Garnish Ingredients:
- Salt (to taste)
- Pepper (to taste)
- Paprika
- Chopped chives or green onions
Instructions
- Submerge eggs completely in a saucepan filled with water, ensuring they are fully covered.
- Heat water to a rolling boil, then reduce temperature and allow eggs to gently simmer for precisely 10 minutes.
- Immediately transfer eggs to an ice water bath or rinse under cold running water to halt cooking process and facilitate easy peeling.
- Carefully slice each egg precisely down the center lengthwise using a sharp knife.
- Extract egg yolks delicately and deposit them into a mixing bowl, reserving egg white halves on a serving platter.
- Crush yolks thoroughly with a fork until they reach a crumbly consistency.
- Incorporate mayonnaise, Sriracha sauce, and Dijon mustard into the yolk mixture, blending until achieving a creamy, uniform texture.
- Season the filling with salt and pepper, adjusting to personal taste preferences.
- Carefully spoon or elegantly pipe the spicy yolk mixture back into the waiting egg white cavities.
- Dust the filled eggs with a light sprinkle of paprika for added color and depth of flavor.
- Garnish with finely chopped chives or green onions to provide a fresh, vibrant finish.
Notes
- Ensure eggs are at room temperature before boiling to prevent cracking and promote even cooking.
- For perfectly cooked eggs with creamy yolks, set a timer precisely and immediately cool in ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Adjust Sriracha sauce quantity based on personal heat preference, starting with less and gradually adding more for controlled spiciness.
- Make these deviled eggs diet-friendly by using Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise for a lighter, protein-packed version that’s lower in calories.
