Ingredients
Instructions
- Boil eggs with 1 teaspoon salt; when done, put in cold water to cool quickly.
- Peel eggs and cut them in half.
- Remove yolks and set whites aside on a serving tray.
- Mix mayonnaise, mustard, salt, pepper, a dash of vinegar, and cayenne pepper to make the filling.
- Fill the egg whites with the spicy yolk mixture and serve.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier filling, consider using Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise. If you prefer less heat, reduce or omit the cayenne pepper. To boil eggs perfectly, start with room temperature eggs and add them to cold water; bring to a boil, then cover and let sit off the heat for about 12 minutes. This method helps prevent green rings around the yolks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make deviled eggs ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare deviled eggs a day in advance. Boil and peel the eggs, then store the whites and filling separately in the fridge. Assemble them just before serving to keep the egg whites fresh and prevent them from becoming soggy.
What can I use instead of mayonnaise?
If you're looking for a healthier alternative, you can use avocado or Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise. Both options will add creaminess and a unique flavor to the filling, catering to different dietary preferences.
How can I make my deviled eggs spicier?
To increase the heat in your deviled eggs, you can add more cayenne pepper or mix in some finely chopped jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce. Experiment with different spicy ingredients to find the perfect balance for your palate.
