Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Eggs: Fresh large eggs are essential for sturdy egg whites. If you’re vegan, consider using mashed avocado or silken tofu to mimic the creamy texture of yolks.
Mayonnaise: Traditional mayonnaise adds creaminess. For a healthier option, you can use Greek yogurt or avocado mayo. Both will give a tasty result!
Sriracha: This spicy sauce gives the kick! If you prefer less heat, swap it with a milder hot sauce or use a mix of ketchup and chili powder for a sweet and spicy balance.
Garlic Powder: If you don’t have garlic powder, feel free to finely mince fresh garlic instead, but use sparingly to avoid overpowering flavors.
Fresh Herbs: I love fresh chives for garnish, but you can use parsley or dill too. They all add a lovely fresh note!
How Do I Boil Eggs Perfectly for Deviled Eggs?
Boiling eggs can be tricky, but it’s super easy if you follow these steps:
- Place your eggs gently in a saucepan and cover them with water about an inch high.
- Bring water to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once boiling, cover and remove from heat. Let the eggs sit for about 10-12 minutes.
- Transfer eggs to an ice water bath for 5+ minutes. This helps with peeling!
With this method, you’ll get perfectly hard-boiled eggs every time, and they’ll peel easily too!

Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Boil the Eggs:
Start by placing the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan. Cover them with water so there’s about an inch of water above the eggs. Heat over medium-high heat until the water comes to a boil.
2. Set a Timer:
Once the water is boiling, cover the pan with a lid, remove it from the heat, and let it sit for about 10-12 minutes. This will perfectly cook your eggs!
3. Cool the Eggs:
After the timer goes off, drain the hot water from the pan. To cool the eggs quickly, transfer them to a bowl filled with ice water. Let them sit for at least 5 minutes. This step makes peeling easier!
4. Prepare the Filling:
Once the eggs are cool, peel them and slice them in half lengthwise. Gently remove the yolks and place them in a medium mixing bowl. Use a fork to mash the yolks until they’re crumbly.
5. Mix Ingredients:
To the mashed yolks, add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Sriracha sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything together until it’s nice and smooth. You can adjust the amount of Sriracha based on how spicy you want your eggs.
6. Fill the Egg Whites:
Using a spoon or a piping bag, fill each egg white half with the spicy yolk mixture. Be generous—it’s all about that creamy goodness!
7. Garnish and Chill:
Sprinkle a bit of smoked paprika over the top for a lovely color and flavor. Add chopped fresh herbs for an extra pop! Cover the eggs and chill them for at least 15 minutes before serving to let all those yummy flavors mix together.
