These Spicy Deviled Eggs Recipe made with MIRACLE WHIP were a hit in our household! I made up a dozen hard-boiled eggs and everyone got to enjoy them.

Have you seen our Scotch Egg Recipe! It is another fun recipe using hard-boiled eggs.

Ingredients

  • Hard-boiled eggs
  • Miracle Whip Dressing
  • Dijon Mustard
  • Jalapeno pepper
  • Paprika

You can add salt and pepper to taste if you like the additional flavor. If you want to add even more spice to these you can sprinkle hot sauce over the top.

If you are not a fan of spicy foods you can cut back on the jalapeno peppers or smoked paprika. Try Garlic Powder for a fun twist on classic deviled eggs.

Directions


1. Peel the eggs then cut eggs in half lengthwise, remove yolks; place in a medium bowl. Mash the yolks with a fork


2. Combine Miracle Whip, Dijon Mustard and diced jalapeno pepper with egg yolks
3. Pipe with a piping bag or spoon yolk mixture into eggs
4. Sprinkle with paprika, garnish with additional jalapeno slices.

Tips for making these great Spicy Deviled Eggs:

If your eggs float when you place them in the cold water make sure and discard them. Check out how to tell if an Egg is Fresh

Use a small plastic resealable bag to pipe egg yolk mixture into your eggs. All you need to do is clip off an end and you can pipe the egg yolk mixture nicely into the eggs.

At church functions in parts of the Southern and Midwestern United States, the terms "stuffed eggs", "salad eggs", and "dressed eggs" occur instead, to avoid reference to the word "devil". For this reason, the term "angel eggs" is also occasionally used.

Should you make deviled eggs the night before or the day of? ›

Assemble deviled eggs no more than a day in advance.

Now would be the time to fold in any freshly chopped herbs. Pipe the filling to the egg whites and store them in the fridge covered in a container up to 12 hours ahead or overnight. If you make them more than one day in advance, the filling won't be its best.

Why do people put paprika on deviled eggs? ›

The paprika will determine the depth of flavor of each bite. You can garnish with any kind (hot or sweet Hungarian, or hot or sweet smoked), but the better the quality, the more complex the flavor.

What can I use instead of paprika in deviled eggs? ›

Cayenne is an excellent substitute for hot paprika. It'll allow you to keep the spiciness, but it will be slightly stronger in flavor, so use half the amount.

Is it better to make deviled eggs when they are warm or cold? ›

Be sure to transfer them to an ice bath right away to stop the cooking process and cool them down quickly, which makes the eggs easier to peel and ensures that the yolk isn't too warm when mixed with the mayonnaise and mustard (which risks creating a runny filling).

What do you put in the middle of a deviled egg tray? ›

What is a thickening agent for deviled eggs? ›

If you have a baby in the home, baby cereal can work as a thickener. Baby cereal is typically made from neutral-tasting rice, so using it shouldn't impact the flavor of your deviled eggs too heavily. Alternatively, if you really have nothing else to work with, all you need is more eggs.

Can I use Cajun seasoning instead of paprika? ›

If you're someone that doesn't like a mind blowing amount of heat then cajun seasoning could be the best paprika substitute for you. While it does have a nice little kick, it's not over the top and is comparable to chilli powder and not as hot as plain cayenne.
