Ah, deviled eggs—such a classic, right? But let’s kick it up a notch with a fiery twist that might just make your taste buds dance like they’re at a country music festival in Nashville. It’s a little spicy, a little tangy, and absolutely worth the mini kitchen mess you’ll make.
Steps
- Boil six eggs until hard-cooked, then peel them and slice each in half lengthwise. Carefully remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl.
- Add 1 tablespoon of hot sauce, 2 tablespoons of Nashville Hot Seasoning, 1/4 cup of mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard, and 1/8 teaspoon of salt to the bowl with the yolks. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Drizzle a small amount of hot sauce into each egg white cavity, adjusting the amount based on your preferred spice level. Fill each cavity generously with the prepared yolk mixture.
- Prepare the topping by combining 2 tablespoons of crushed salt and vinegar kettle-cooked potato chips with 2 dashes of hot sauce and 1 tablespoon of Nashville Hot Seasoning. Sprinkle this mixture over the filled eggs.
- Garnish the deviled eggs with sliced green onions for added color and flavor. Serve immediately while the topping remains crunchy, or store in an airtight container if preparing in advance.
