Spicy Deviled Eggs Recipe - A Flavorful Mexican Dish

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 6 large eggs (hard-boiled)
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce (or to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro (chopped for garnish)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Eggs

    Place the eggs in a pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, cover the pot and remove from heat. Let sit for 12 minutes.

    Use a timer to ensure perfect hard-boiled eggs.
  2. Cool the Eggs

    Transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool for 5-10 minutes. This makes peeling easier.

    Peel eggs under running water for best results.
  3. Make the Filling

    Slice the eggs in half lengthwise and remove the yolks. In a bowl, mash the yolks with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, hot sauce, and cumin until smooth.

    Adjust hot sauce according to your spice preference.
  4. Fill the Egg Whites

    Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves.

    For a professional look, use a piping bag.
  5. Garnish and Serve

    Sprinkle with chopped cilantro before serving. Enjoy your spicy deviled eggs!

    Serve chilled for the best flavor.
