Description
Smoky, grilled deviled eggs featuring charred egg whites and a creamy, tangy yolk filling with Dijon mustard, hot sauce, and garnished with pickled red onion and chives.
Ingredients
12 hard‑cooked eggs, peeled and halved
6 Tbsp mayonnaise
2 tsp Dijon mustard
1½ tsp hot sauce
¾ tsp kosher salt
¼ tsp black pepper (plus extra for garnish)
2 tsp vegetable oil
Pickled red onions (for topping)
Chopped fresh chives (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat grill to medium‑high (≈400–450 °F).
- Separate yolks and whites. Mash yolks and mix with mayonnaise, Dijon, hot sauce, salt, and pepper until smooth. Chill mixture.
- Brush cut sides of egg whites with oil. Grill cut‑side down in batches for about 1 minute to get char marks.
- Pipe or spoon yolk filling into grilled egg whites.
- Top with pickled red onions and chives, and season with a dash of black pepper.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- Broil egg whites in oven if grill isn’t available—oil and broil for similar char effect.
- Add smoked paprika or cayenne to yolk filling for extra heat.
- Mix in sour cream or Greek yogurt for creamier texture.
- Prepare eggs and filling up to 2 days ahead and refrigerate separately—assemble just before serving.
- Using deli tubes or piping bag helps make elegant filling.
