Let’s talk heat. This recipe isn’t crazy hot. It’s one of those things that you feel the warmth, not the burn. But if you like crazy hot, you can always add more Cayenne pepper! Likewise, if you would like to tone them back, just omit the cayenne pepper altogether.

Making deviled eggs step by step

Step 1. Start by slicing your hardboiled eggs in half and removing the yolks.

Step 2 . I like mixing the filling for my deviled eggs in a Ziploc bag. Just add the yolks with the rest of the ingredients and smash it until it’s smooth! Or combine in a bowl if you prefer.

Step 4. Finish your spicy deviled eggs by garnishing them with a slice of sweet pickle, a sprinkle of cayenne, or a drizzle of sriracha to let people know these aren’t your average devilled egg.
