Ingredients

Scale

Essential Ingredients:

2 tablespoons butter (salted or unsalted), softened
6 hard-cooked eggs, peeled
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon hot sauce (e.g., Tabasco)
2 teaspoons pickle brine or olive brine (optional)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Paprika, for garnish (optional)
Chopped fresh chives, for garnish (optional)

Optional Add-Ons:

Crumbled bacon
Sriracha drizzle
Pickles or sweet relish, finely chopped

Instructions

Prepare the eggs: Slice hard-cooked eggs in half lengthwise. Remove yolks and place them in a medium bowl. Arrange egg whites on a serving platter.
Make the filling: Mash the yolks with a fork until crumbly. Add softened butter, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, hot sauce, and optional brine. Mix until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Fill the eggs: Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture into the egg white halves.
Garnish: Sprinkle with paprika and chopped chives. Add any additional toppings like bacon or pickles if desired.
Chill and serve: Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to let flavors meld.

Notes

For ultra-smooth filling, use a food processor to blend the yolk mixture.
Use a piping bag with a star tip for a decorative finish.
These deviled eggs can be made up to 1 day in advance. Just keep them covered and chilled until ready to serve.
