Ingredients

  • 8 large eggs hard-boiled
  • ⅓ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons hot pepper sauce
  • ½ teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt or ¼ teaspoon of any other salt
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Pinch cayenne pepper
  • smoked paprika for garnish

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Using a sharp knife, slice each egg in half lengthwise. Gently remove the yolks and place them in a medium bowl. Arrange the egg white halves on a serving plate.
  2. Mash the yolks well with a fork. Add the mayonnaise, Dijon, hot sauce, kosher salt, garlic powder, and cayenne. Mix well, until smooth and creamy. 
  3. Spoon the yolk mixture into the egg white halves. Sprinkle with smoked paprika. Serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve and for up to three days.  

Notes

  • For this recipe, the yolks should be fully cooked. So, if you follow this guide for how to cook hard-boiled eggs, leave the eggs in hot water for 12-14 minutes.
  • Not into spicy foods? You can make these eggs as spicy or as mild as you like. For milder eggs, omit the cayenne pepper. For spicier ones, increase it to ¼ teaspoon.
  • You can replace the mayonnaise with sour cream or softened cream cheese.
  • You can keep the leftovers in the fridge, in an airtight container, for up to 3 days. I don't recommend freezing the leftovers. Their texture and flavor won't survive freezing and thawing.
