INGREDIENTS:

• 6 large eggs
• Up to ¼ cup mayonnaise, as needed
• 2 teaspoons hot sauce, plus more as needed
• 1 teaspoon curry powder
• 1 teaspoon dry mustard
• Salt
• Cayenne pepper or ancho chile powder, for garnish

PREPARATIONS:

1. Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with 1 inch of cold water. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
2. Drain the eggs and cover them with cold water to cool them down.
3. Once cooled, peel the eggs and cut them in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and place them in a small mixing bowl. Mash the yolks with a fork.
4. Add the hot sauce, curry powder, dry mustard, and a pinch of salt to the mashed yolks. Mix well, adding mayonnaise as needed to achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.
5. Taste the filling and add more hot sauce if desired for extra spiciness.
6. Spoon the filling equally into the egg white halves.
7. Sprinkle a dusting of cayenne pepper or ancho chile powder over the deviled eggs for garnish.
8. Serve and enjoy!

MAKES:

• 1 dozen egg halves

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS:

• Adjust the amount of hot sauce according to your preference for spiciness. Feel free to add more if you like it extra hot.
• For a milder version, reduce the amount of hot sauce or choose a milder variety.
• If you prefer a creamier filling, add more mayonnaise gradually until you reach the desired consistency.
• You can get creative with the garnish by using other spices such as paprika or smoked paprika for a different flavor profile.

TIPS:

• To easily peel the eggs, it’s best to use eggs that are a few days old rather than very fresh ones.
• To make filling the eggs easier, you can transfer the yolk mixture into a piping bag or a ziplock bag and pipe it into the egg white halves.
• For a more festive presentation, you can use a decorative piping tip to pipe the filling.
• Deviled eggs can be made ahead of time and refrigerated. Just make sure to cover them well to prevent them from drying out.

• Tex-Mex Eggs: Add 2 teaspoons of chopped fresh cilantro and 1/8 teaspoon of ground cumin to the yolk mixture for a Tex-Mex twist.
• Cajun Eggs: Substitute Louisiana Hot Sauce for the hot sauce mentioned in the main recipe, omit the curry powder, and add 1 teaspoon of Cajun seasoning to the yolk mixture for a Cajun-inspired flavor.
