Short Intro

Whether it’s game day, Easter Sunday, or just Tuesday night, these fiery little flavor bombs bring tangy mustard vibes with a spicy kick that keeps everyone reaching for seconds.

Recipe Info

• Feeds: 6 people (as an appetizer/side)

• Prep Time: 15 minutes

• Cook Time: 10 minutes

• Total Time: 25 minutes

• Cook Temp: Medium-high boil

• Servings: 12 deviled egg halves

Ingredients

• 6 large eggs

• 3 tablespoons mayonnaise (full-fat for maximum creaminess, don’t skimp)

• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

• 2 teaspoons Scorching Afternoon (Spicy Mustard Rub)

• Garnish: chives, paprika, or extra seasoning (optional, but highly recommended for flair)

Instructions

1. Boil the Eggs:

   • Place eggs in a small pot, cover with cold water (at least an inch above eggs).

   • Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, cover with a lid.

   • Once boiling, remove from heat and let sit, covered, for 10 minutes.

2. Cool and Peel:

   • Drain hot water and transfer eggs into a bowl of ice-cold water.

   • Let them chill for at least 5 minutes before peeling (your sanity will thank you).

3. Slice and Scoop:

   • Carefully peel eggs and cut them in half lengthwise.

   • Pop the yolks into a mixing bowl, setting whites aside.

4. Make the Filling:

   • Mash yolks with a fork until crumbly.

   • Mix in mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar until smooth and creamy.

5. Season with Fire:

   • Sprinkle Scorching Afternoon into the yolk mixture and stir well.

   • Taste test (if your mouth doesn’t tingle, add a pinch more).

6. Assemble Like a Pro:

   • Lay a light layer of Scorching Afternoon in a shallow dish.

   • Dip the cut side of the egg whites (the hollow side) gently into the seasoning.

   • Pipe or spoon the yolk mixture back into each egg white half.

7. Garnish & Serve:

   • Top with chives, extra seasoning, or even a crispy bacon crumble if you’re feeling wild.

   • Serve immediately—or refrigerate until your guests arrive to devour them.

Tips & Notes

• Want extra spice? Add a dash of hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne to the yolk filling.

• For smoother yolks, push the filling through a mesh strainer before mixing.

• Use a piping bag (or a Ziploc with the corner cut off) for a professional “fancy egg” look.

• These are best eaten the same day, but leftovers will keep for up to 2 days in the fridge.

Classic deviled eggs just got their glow-up. The tangy Dijon, creamy mayo, and fiery kick of Scorching Afternoon make these a crave-worthy snack that brings the heat without overpowering. Perfect for cookouts, brunches, or any time you want to surprise your taste buds.
