Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon hot sauce
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon pickle juice or white vinegar
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 6 jalapeño slices (optional, for garnish)
• 2 tablespoons chives (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover them with water about 1 inch above the eggs.

Step 2

Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat, then turn off the heat and cover the saucepan with a lid. Let the eggs sit for 10 minutes to cook through.

Step 3

Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water and let them cool for at least 5 minutes. Once cooled, peel the eggs carefully.

Step 4

Slice each egg in half lengthwise and gently remove the yolks, placing the yolks into a medium bowl. Set the egg whites aside on a platter.

Step 5

Mash the yolks with a fork until they are crumbly and smooth. Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, hot sauce, pickle juice (or vinegar), paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix until fully combined and creamy.

Step 6

Taste the yolk mixture and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or hot sauce to reach your desired level of spice.

Step 7

Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg whites evenly. To pipe, you can use a piping bag or snip the corner off a zip-top plastic bag to create a pastry bag effect.

Step 8

Garnish each deviled egg with a slice of jalapeño and sprinkle with chives for a touch of freshness, if desired.

Step 9

Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving. Sprinkle with a little extra paprika for color before serving if desired.
