Spicy Deviled Eggs with Asparagus
These spicy deviled eggs are as delicious as they are pretty.
Deviled eggs are great for a quick snack right out of the fridge.
They’re also a tasty finger food for get-togethers or even a cool side dish on a hot day.
And I especially like that deviled eggs can be made ahead of time.
About this Recipe
These spicy deviled eggs come with a bonus, fresh asparagus.
The chopped raw asparagus in these deviled eggs adds a subtle crunch and texture.
Instead of topping these deviled eggs with paprika which is a traditional garnish, they’re topped with a drizzle of hot sauce which adds a pop of flavor and vibrant color.
There’s also hot sauce in the filling.
About Boiling the Eggs
As easy as it sounds to “boil an egg”, there’s actually an art to it so not to overcook the eggs.
Here are some great tips on “How to Make Perfect Hard-Boiled Eggs” from Simply Recipes.
Let’s check out the ingredients.
Hard boiled eggs, raw asparagus, mayonnaise, yellow mustard, red onion, sweet pickles, dried dill, salt, pepper and hot sauce
HOW TO MAKE THIS RECIPE
A printable recipe with the measurements and instructions is located at the bottom of this post.
For the Deviled Eggs and Filling:
Slice the hard-boiled eggs in half lengthwise.
With a small spoon, scoop out the yolks and add them to a medium size bowl.
With a fork, mash the yolks into small crumbles.
Add mayonnaise, mustard, diced sweet pickles, diced red onion, sliced raw asparagus, hot sauce, dried dill, salt and pepper…
…and…
…mix all ingredients together.
Do a taste test and add more salt or hot sauce if needed.
Salt really makes the flavors pop, so an option is to first add the salt to taste and then the hot sauce.
Fill the egg whites with the egg yolk mixture.
For Garnish:
Garnish each deviled egg with a drizzle of hot sauce, slices of asparagus, and diced red onion.
If making these ahead of time, add the hot sauce (for garnish) just before serving.
Store in the refrigerator.
And…
…enjoy each and every delicious bite.
