How to Make a Spicy Deviled Egg Filling

Just as with hard boiled eggs, everyone has their own favorite recipe to make deviled eggs. If you're tired of the standard deviled eggs, try this easy to make spicy deviled egg filling.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 12 eggs
• 1/2 cup mayo
• 1/4 to 1/2 Tbsp hot mustard powder (or to taste)
• 1 Tbsp finely diced onion
• 1/8 tsp salt
• dash of paprika
• optional: few drops bottled red pepper seasoning
• medium-sized mixing bowl
• table fork and iced tea spoon
• Note: this mixture is for 12 eggs halved (24 deviled eggs)

1. 
   Hard boiled eggs

   To make a spicy deviled egg filling, start with a bowl of freshly boiled hard boiled eggs. (For easy directions on making hard boiled eggs, see my article in the Related Articles section of this page.)

2. 

   Slice eggs in half lengthwise and remove the yolks using an iced tea spoon or something similar. Place yolks into a medium-sized bowl and mash well with a fork.

3. 

   Add the mayo, mustard powder, onion, salt (if desired) and red pepper seasoning (also optional) to the mashed yolks and mix until smooth. Fill the egg halves with the spicy deviled egg filling.

4. 
   Spicy Deviled Eggs

   Arrange deviled eggs neatly on a platter or deviled egg tray. Sprinkle a dash of paprika on top of eggs to add color and just a little taste. Serve the deviled eggs made with spicy deviled egg filling and enjoy the compliments. :)

Tips & Warnings

• You can skip the 1/8 tsp of salt to the mix if you wish. You may find the finely diced onions and mustard give the egg filling a zing of it's own.
• If this is your first time making a spicy filling, try the smaller amount of hot mustard powder first and add more if needed.
