Simple Spicy Deviled Eggs

Don't you just love the creaminess of a good deviled egg? This twist is just the right amount of zing, heat and sweetness. For Thanksgiving this year I made my eggs three ways, just by changing the toppings.

For the spicy version, add a few drops of Frank's Buffalo Wing Sauce in the bottom of the egg well, add your yolks mixture and top with diced jalapenos. Take them up another notch by adding a medium sized bleu cheese chunk with the jalapenos.

WHAT GOES GREAT ON EGGS?

My other two were topped with dill on one and chives with paprika on the other. Delicious! You can also use so many other versions of toppings with this mix, including cooked and chilled shrimp with a dash of cocktail sauce in the bottom or diced bacon and green onions. I have even made these with a small slice of pickle or diced red pepper and a sprig of rosemary. Oh my gosh I'm hungry and can't wait until tomorrow!

Ingredients:

• 12 Boiled eggs

• Mayonnaise (this amount varies on sight and how creamy you like your egg yolks mixture, add a large spoonful at a time)

• 2 tablespoons Mustard

• 2 tablespoons Pickle juice

• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar

• Pinch of salt (optional)

• Piping bag (or just use a ziplock and snip a corner, like I do)

Directions:

1. After your eggs have been boiled and peeled, cut them in half and dump the yolks in a bowl. Arrange the boiled whites on a tray or plate.

2. Using a fork, smash the yolks until the lumps are gone.

3. Add the mustard, pickle juice and sugar. Leave the sugar out if you want this to be keto-friendly. Mix until fully incorporated. If you want a pinch of salt, add now and mix.

4. Adding the mayonnaise a spoon at a time, mix until you have the right creamy consistency you like. My kids like it a little thicker (less mayo) and I like it extra creamy (more mayo and sometimes a little more pickle juice).

5. Put the yolk mixture into a bag and pipe into the white shells. If you want to be really fancy, use a frosting pipe with the star tip.

6. Top with your favorite things or use my suggestions above. Eat one immediately for quality control and chill the rest in an air tight container for your event. Try to stay out of them. Or sneak another like I do.
