Smoky Paprika Chipotle Deviled Eggs

A classic dish that always pops up this time of year is deviled eggs.  This version of deviled eggs gets a slightly spicy kick from Smoky Paprika Chipotle. 

For this recipe you will need:

  • 6 large hard-boiled eggs, shells removed
  • 2 Tbsp. Victoria Taylor’s Smoky Paprika Chipotle
  • 1 tsp. white wine vinegar
  • 3 Tbsp. mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp. dijon mustard
  • ½ tsp. salt

Cut eggs in half lengthwise and transfer yolks to bowl. 

Combine Smoky Paprika Chipotle, mayonnaise, salt and pepper with yolks and mash with the back of a spoon until fully mixed.

Using a zip top bag with one corner cut off refill the egg whites with about 1 Tbsp of the mixture, mounding slightly.

Sprinkle top with Smoky Paprika Chipotle if desired. Can be made ahead of time and kept chilled until serving.

Tips for a great hard boiled egg:  Place eggs in single layer in a pot and submerge with cold water.  Turn heat to high and bring eggs to a boil.  Once water is rapidly boiling turn off heat and cover the pot.  Let eggs sit in pot for 15 minutes for medium/large eggs and up to 20 minutes for extra large eggs.  Plunge eggs into a bowl of ice water for 10 minutes.  Crack the egg under water at the larger end where there is an air pocket.  Peel egg under lightly running cool water.
