    Recipe: $2.79 | Per Serving: $0.70 | Servings: 4

    a plate full of spicy deviled eggs with celery.

    Deviled eggs are a fantastic side dish, and we truly enjoy making them whenever we get the chance. Unfortunately, they never last long because everyone reaches for more.

    While I normally make Dairy Free Deviled Eggs, I decided to add a little spice to the mix. This did not deter the kids from wanting any though, and I still had to share. I am happy to report that they tasted perfect when paired next to my Honey Buffalo Wings!

    🍯 Why This Recipe Works

    1. They're not too hot. My kids sometimes think pizza sauce is "too spicy," but they were able to enjoy these deviled eggs without any issues. While you can taste that spice was used, you won't be breathing fire anytime soon. Perfect for those who actually want to taste their food. I keep my Spicy Tuna Sandwich recipe around the same level of heat.
    2. You can add more heat. Nothing stops you from adding a little more tobacco sauce or sprinkling chili pepper over the top, so feel free to spice up your eggs even more if that's what you're looking for.
    3. Basic ingredients. The ingredients used in this recipe are pretty simple and basic. You may already have them all in your home, making this a simple recipe to throw together whenever the mood strikes. There's no wrong time for deviled eggs!

    🥘 Ingredients

    labeled ingredients needed to make spicy deviled eggs.

    Ingredient Notes:

    Eggs- You'll need a dozen hard-boiled eggs to make this recipe. I like to use my Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs when I want them to peel easily. If any eggs DO give me trouble, I just turn them into some Southern Egg Salad sandwiches.

    Mustard- You will need both yellow mustard as well as Dijon mustard for a nice color and flavor.

    Tabasco sauce- This is what gives us the subtle kick of heat in every deviled egg.

    Butter- This is the secret ingredient! Melted butter really helps to elevate the richness and flavor in the filling.

    For specific ingredients and measurements, please see the recipe card below.

    🧾 Substitutions

    Tabasco sauce. If desired, you can replace your Tabasco sauce with Franks Red Hot Wing Sauce, chili sauce, or Sriracha. I love to make these spicy deviled eggs with sriracha! (We use sriracha in our Spicy Peanut Butter Ramen).

    Mayo. I like to use avocado oil mayo in my recipes whenever possible because I keep it on hand. You can make spicy mayo deviled eggs with any mayo of your choice, but I do not recommend miracle whip.

    🔪 Instructions for Spicy Deviled Eggs

    Step 1: Boil a dozen eggs in a pot of water until hard boiled. Place the eggs into an ice bath for 5 minutes before peeling them.

    peeled hard boiled eggs in a mixing bowl.

    Step 2: Peel the shells off of the eggs and place them into a bowl. Rinse them off to remove any tiny pieces of shell.

    Remove yolks from halved hard-boiled eggs, place in glass bowl.

    Step 3: Slice the eggs in half down from top to bottom to make bowls.

    Step 4: Place all of the cooked egg yolks into a mixing bowl.

    Step 5: Crumble the yolks using the back of a fork. You want the pieces to be as small as possible.

    Step 6: Add in the remaining ingredients.

    Step 7: Mix together until smooth. Taste and adjust as needed.

    Step 8: Spoon the filling into the divets in the cooked egg whites.

    Step 9: Sprinkle some paprika over the top.

    Step 10: Store covered in the fridge or serve and enjoy.

    🍴 Recipe Tips

    1. How long to hard boil eggs. You can place your eggs in a pot of water and bring to a boil. Let boil for 10-15 minutes before draining and placing the eggs into a cold water ice bath to help stop the cooking process.
    2. My favorite method for boiling eggs. For a fool-proof egg boiling method, you can try my favorite Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs. This has been my go-to recipe for years.

    🥗 Side Dishes

    Deviled eggs go great with appetizer recipes like Beer Brine Chicken Wings and Mini Pigs in a Blanket. They can also pair nicely next to a bowl of Cheddar Bacon Ranch Pasta Salad or an Cajun Turkey Breast Recipe.

    ⏲️ Make Ahead Instructions

    If making these deviled eggs, I recommend not making them too far in advance. They'll do best if prepared no more than a few hours before presenting them.

    👩🏻‍🍳 Storage

    You can keep your leftover deviled eggs well covered and stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 or 4 days, but for the best tasting results you'll want to eat them within a day or two.

    💭 Recipe FAQs

    Why are deviled eggs only good for 2 days?

    While they'll still be safe to eat for up to a few extra days, you want to eat them within two days because they start to sweat as they sit in the fridge.

    What do you serve with deviled eggs?

    Deviled eggs are usually served at events like holiday feasts and barbecues, but there's nothing wrong with serving them up as a tasty side dish with your favorite sandwiches and potato chips. Some fresh cut veggies like baby carrots and celery would also be nice side dishes.

    Are deviled eggs easier to peel hot or cold?

    I find that they are easier to peel when they are somewhere in the middle. Cold enough that they're easy to handle without burning my fingers, but not so cold that they're chilled.
