Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Eggs: Large eggs are perfect for deviled eggs. If you want to make them healthier, you could try using egg whites only for the filling, or even use tofu for a vegan option.
Mayonnaise: Traditional mayonnaise adds creaminess. If you’re seeking a lighter version, use Greek yogurt instead. It tastes great and adds protein!
Sriracha: The star of this recipe! Depending on your spice tolerance, you can adjust how much you add. For a milder flavor, try a sweet chili sauce or even a hot sauce that you enjoy.
Garlic Powder: This gives an added depth. If you prefer fresh garlic, a small clove minced will work too. Just be cautious, as fresh can be stronger!

Spicy Sriracha Deviled Eggs
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 6 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons Sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Paprika, for garnish
- Chopped fresh chives or green onions, for garnish
How Much Time Will You Need?
The total time for this recipe is about 30 minutes. You’ll spend around 10-12 minutes cooking the eggs and another 10-15 minutes preparing the filling and assembling the deviled eggs. Chill them for about 20 minutes in the fridge before serving. Easy and quick!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Boil the Eggs:
Start by placing the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan. Cover the eggs with cold water, making sure there’s about an inch of water above them. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once it starts boiling, remove the pan from heat, cover it with a lid, and let the eggs sit for 10-12 minutes.
2. Cool and Peel the Eggs:
After the eggs have finished cooking, carefully drain the hot water. Transfer the eggs to an ice bath or run them under cold water until they are completely cooled. This will help make peeling the eggs easier. Gently tap the eggs on a hard surface and peel them under running water if needed. Slice each egg in half lengthwise and place the yolks in a medium bowl. Arrange the egg whites on a serving platter.
3. Prepare the Yolk Mixture:
Using a fork, mash the yolks until they are crumbly. Add in the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Sriracha sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until you get a smooth and creamy filling. Make sure to taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning and Sriracha according to your spice preference.
4. Fill the Egg Whites:
Now, using a spoon or a piping bag with a star tip, fill each halved egg white with the yolk mixture. Just a generous dollop in each will do! Sprinkling with paprika adds a nice color and flavor.
5. Garnish and Chill:
Finally, sprinkle the filled deviled eggs with paprika and garnish with chopped fresh chives or green onions for a lovely touch. Refrigerate the deviled eggs for at least 20 minutes before serving. This will help them set and enhance the flavors.
Enjoy your spicy, creamy deviled eggs with an extra kick of Sriracha! They are sure to be a hit!
Can I Use Different Types of Mustard?
Absolutely! While Dijon mustard adds a nice tanginess, you can use yellow mustard for a milder flavor or even spicy brown mustard for an extra kick. Just adjust the amount based on your taste preference.
How Can I Store Leftover Deviled Eggs?
Store any leftover deviled eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To keep them fresh, cover the container tightly and use plastic wrap if there’s an exposed area of the egg whites.
What If I Want to Reduce the Spice Level?
If you prefer a milder version, start with just 1 teaspoon of Sriracha and taste the filling before adding more. You can also substitute Sriracha with a mild hot sauce or reduce it altogether for a creamy egg flavor without the heat.
Can I Make These Deviled Eggs Ahead of Time?
Yes! You can prepare the filling up to a day in advance and store it in the fridge. Just fill the egg whites shortly before serving to prevent them from getting soggy. This way, you can save time on the day of your event!
