Let's kick this classic recipe up a notch. These spicy deviled eggs have so much flavor but only require a handful of simple ingredients.
It doesn't get any more classic than deviled eggs. This recipe is very similar to the recipe I was raised on, I've just kicked it up a notch by adding in some sriracha for a spicy twist.
Spicy deviled eggs
It's really to make a traditional deviled eggs recipe spicy with the use of sriracha. It has become a very poplar condiment so most people keep it in their refrigerator. You can add a drizzle of sriracha sauce for a little heat, or a lot of sriracha for some super spicy deviled eggs.
Tips for hardboiled eggs
- Do not use fresh eggs. Older eggs are going to be much easier to peel.
- I love to use a Dash egg cooker. It makes the eggs perfect every time!
Recipe Card
Spicy Deviled Eggs with Sriracha
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons light mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon sriracha (more or less to taste)
- salt and black pepper to taste
- smoked paprika or cayenne pepper for garnish
Method
- Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Turn off the heat and let the eggs sit in the hot water for 12 minutes. Fill a large bowl half full with cold water and ice. Remove the eggs from the pot to the ice bath and let cool completely.
- Remove the hard shell from the eggs and cut in half. Remove the egg yolks to a small food processor or small bowl. Place the white halves on a serving platter. To the egg yolks add in the mayonnaise, dijon mustard, sriracha, salt and pepper. Blend until smooth.
- Use a spatula to scoop the egg yolk mixture into a piping bag or a ziploc bag. Cut the corner of the bag and pipe the mixture into the egg halves. Garnish with a sprinkle of the paprika or cayenne pepper.

Harissa sauce instead sriracha works wonders. More heat and imparts no taste.
