Ingredients

You don’t need fancy stuff — just these basics!

6 large eggs

½ teaspoon sriracha sauce
¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped

Directions

Place the 6 large eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover with cold water by 1 inch.
Bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
Cover, remove from heat, and let the eggs sit for 10-12 minutes.
Transfer the pot to an ice-water bath to stop the cooking.
Leave the boiled eggs in the ice-water bath for 2-3 minutes.
Gently tap each egg to peel the shell and pat dry.
Using a sharp serrated knife, slice each egg lengthwise to create two equal halves.
Remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl.
Add the ripe avocado, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and sriracha sauce. Mash and blend until smooth.
Season with smoked paprika, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Mix until fully incorporated.
Transfer the filling to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip (or a zip-top bag with a corner snipped).
Pipe a generous mound into each egg-white cavity.
Sprinkle with smoked paprika and chopped fresh chives before serving.
Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.

Tips to make Classic Deviled Eggs with a Twist

Perfectly boiled eggs: For the best results, try using eggs that are a few days old. They peel easier!

Texture matters: If you prefer a chunkier filling, mash your avocado less. A little variety adds to the fun!

Variation

Want to shake things up even more? Consider adding unique ingredients like bacon bits for crunch, or throw in some pickles for a tangy bite. If you’re going vegan, you can replace the eggs with silken tofu blended with avocado and seasonings. The options are endless!
