A bold twist on classic deviled eggs featuring a creamy, spicy sriracha mayo filling and drizzle, perfect for parties and quick snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, hard-boiled
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) mayonnaise (preferably full-fat, e.g., Hellmann’s)
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Chives or green onions, finely chopped (for garnish, optional)
  • For drizzle: 2 tablespoons mayonnaise mixed with 1 teaspoon sriracha

Instructions

  1. Place 6 large eggs in a single layer in a medium pot. Cover with cold water by about 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, then cover and remove from heat. Let sit for 10-12 minutes.
  2. Immediately transfer eggs to an ice bath or run under cold water for 5 minutes to stop cooking. Gently tap and peel the shells.
  3. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the eggs lengthwise. Remove yolks into a mixing bowl and set whites aside on a platter.
  4. Mash the yolks with a fork until crumbly. Add 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons sriracha, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well until creamy and smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  5. Spoon or pipe the filling back into the egg white halves.
  6. Mix 2 tablespoons mayonnaise with 1 teaspoon sriracha in a small bowl. Drizzle this over the filled eggs.
  7. Sprinkle finely chopped chives or green onions on top. Serve immediately or chill for 30 minutes to meld flavors.

Notes

Use older eggs for easier peeling. Adjust sriracha to control heat level. Avoid overmixing yolk filling to keep texture. Prepare filling and whites separately if making ahead. Garnish with crispy shallots or toasted sesame seeds for extra texture.
