Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider using Greek yogurt in place of mayonnaise. If you prefer less heat, reduce the ground red pepper or omit it altogether. Fresh herbs like cilantro or chives can be added to the yolk mixture for a burst of flavor. Additionally, try using curry powder blends that suit your taste for a unique twist. This recipe is perfect for gatherings alongside American recipes like Mama'S Waffles.

Storage & Reheating
Store leftover deviled eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To maintain their freshness, cover the eggs with plastic wrap to prevent them from drying out.
