Deviled eggs are one of my favorite finger foods for parties and gatherings. While the classic version is always a crowd-pleaser, I like being a little creative and making different flavor combinations, like in my Mexican street corn deviled eggs.

Todayโ€™s recipe is no different. These spicy deviled eggs aren’t your ordinary appetizer. They pack a delightful punch with a mix of bold chipotle, tangy lime, and a sizzle of red pepper flakes.

They have a touch of heat but arenโ€™t overly spicy. Of course, you can always change that and make it hotter if you prefer.

Ingredients in Spicy Deviled Eggs

How to Make Spicy Deviled Eggs

Cook: Start by boiling the eggs in water, then cool them down quickly in some ice water. When cool enough to handle, peel them.

Scoop: Slice the eggs in half lengthwise, then carefully scoop out the yolks into a bowl or small blender.

Hard boiled eggs sliced in half and the yolks taken out.

Mix: Combine the hard-boiled egg yolks, mayonnaise, chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, lime juice, and salt. You can do this in a bowl and mix it with an electric mixer or a fork, or you can add everything to a small blender to make it extra smooth and creamy. Give the filling a taste and add more salt as needed.

Fill: Add the filling back into the hard-boiled egg whites by either scooping them in with a spoon or piping them in with a pastry bag.

Variations

  • Use spicy mayonnaise instead of regular mayonnaise for more heat.
  • Garnish with paprika or cayenne pepper if you donโ€™t have red pepper flakes.
  • Use Sriracha instead of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. About 1 tablespoon is perfect.

Recommended Tools

Dutch oven. This heavy-bottomed pot is versatile and great for hard-boiling eggs.

Spider strainer. Perfect for gently adding the eggs into the boiling water.

Pastry bag. Makes the process of adding the filling to the eggs easy and tidy!

Make Ahead and Storage

You can make the hard-boiled eggs and peel them up to two days in advance. Store the peeled eggs in the refrigerator in an airtight container or a covered bowl.

If you choose to assemble the deviled eggs completely ahead of time, place them in a single layer in an airtight container. They can be stored this way in the refrigerator for up to one day.

Ingredients 

Instructions 

  • Fill a large pot with water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Carefully add the eggs to the pot and bring the water back to a boil. Cook for 12-14 minutes.
  • About 1 minute before the eggs are ready, fill a large bowl with ice and water.
  • When the eggs are done, carefully transfer them to the ice bath using a slotted spoon. Let them sit in the ice bath until theyโ€™re cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes.
  • When the eggs are cool enough to handle, peel and discard the shells.
  • Slice each egg in half lengthwise and carefully scoop the cooked yolks into a small blender or food processor. Place the egg whites on a serving plate.
  • To the blender or food processor, add the mayonnaise, chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, additional adobo sauce, lime juice, and salt. Blend until smooth. Taste and add more salt as needed.
  • Transfer the filling to a piping bag fitted with a large, wide-open piping tip, and pipe the filling into the hole of each egg white. Alternatively, you can carefully spoon the mixture into each hole instead of piping if you desire.
  • Garnish each deviled egg with a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes and sliced green onions.
