These deviled eggs feature a creamy, spicy sriracha mayo filling balanced with smoky paprika and fresh chives, perfect for quick snacks or parties.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large eggs (at room temperature), hard-boiled and peeled
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise (preferably good-quality like Hellmann’s)
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Smoked paprika, for sprinkling
  • Fresh chives, finely chopped, for garnish
  • Optional garnish: sesame seeds or finely diced red peppers

Instructions

  1. Place 12 large eggs in a single layer in a medium pot. Fill with cold water until eggs are submerged by about an inch (roughly 4 cups/950 ml). Bring water to a boil over medium-high heat, then cover and remove from heat. Let sit for 12 minutes.
  2. Immediately transfer eggs to an ice bath for at least 5 minutes to stop cooking. Gently crack the shells all over and peel under running water. Pat dry with paper towels.
  3. Slice eggs in half lengthwise (24 halves). Carefully scoop out yolks into a mixing bowl. Mash yolks with a fork until crumbly.
  4. Add mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar to the yolks. Stir until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and black pepper. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  5. Transfer the yolk mixture into a piping bag or plastic bag with a corner cut off. Pipe the filling neatly into the egg white halves. Alternatively, use a small spoon to fill.
  6. Sprinkle the filled eggs with smoked paprika and freshly chopped chives. Add optional sesame seeds or diced red peppers for extra flair.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld. Serve cold or at room temperature.

Notes

Use an ice bath immediately after boiling to prevent overcooking and make peeling easier. Adjust sriracha to control heat level. If filling is too thick, add a teaspoon of mayonnaise or a drop of milk; if too runny, add more mashed yolk. Can be made a day ahead and stored refrigerated in an airtight container. Avoid microwaving leftovers to prevent rubbery texture.
