Spicy Italian Deviled Eggs

Ingredients

  • large eggs
  • tbsp spicy brown mustard
  • tbsp Italian dressing
  • /4 cup mayonnaise
  • /2 tsp black pepper
  • /2 tsp salt
  • pinch paprika

Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water by an inch. Bring the water to a rolling boil, then immediately remove from heat and cover. Let the eggs stand in the hot water for 10 to 12 minutes until cooked. Drain and run under cold water to cool them down quickly. Once cool, peel the eggs and slice each in half lengthwise. Carefully pop out the yolks into a mixing bowl, and arrange the whites on a plate. Add the spicy brown mustard, Italian dressing, mayonnaise, and black pepper to the yolks. Mash and stir until smooth and creamy. Season with salt to taste. Spoon the filling back into the egg white halves, or for a neater presentation, pipe it in using a pastry bag with a star tip. Dust the tops with paprika for a pop of color. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.

Chef's Tip

My secret for the creamiest filling is to push the yolk mixture through a fine mesh sieve before mixing—this removes any lumps and creates a velvety texture. Also, a dash of red pepper flakes adds an extra Italian heat.

Storage Tips

Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The flavors meld overnight, so they often taste even better the next day. Serve cold straight from the fridge.

Variation Tips

For a heartier bite, fold in crispy crumbled bacon or chopped fresh basil into the yolk mixture. You can also swap the Italian dressing with a sugar-free vinaigrette. These deviled eggs pair beautifully with a simple arugula salad or as part of a keto antipasto platter.
