A quick and easy deviled eggs recipe that balances spicy sriracha, sweet honey, and crispy shallots for a flavorful snack or appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons sriracha sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 medium shallots, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
  • Fresh chives, finely chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place 6 large eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by about 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, then cover and remove from heat. Let sit for 10-12 minutes for fully cooked yolks.
  2. Drain the hot water and transfer eggs to an ice bath or run under cold water for 5 minutes. Gently tap and peel the eggs, rinsing off any bits of shell.
  3. While eggs cool, thinly slice 2 medium shallots. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add shallots in a single layer and fry, stirring occasionally, for 3-5 minutes until golden brown and crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon to paper towels and season lightly with salt.
  4. Slice peeled eggs in half lengthwise. Gently scoop out yolks into a medium bowl. Mash yolks with a fork until smooth.
  5. To the mashed yolks, add 3 tablespoons mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon honey, 1–2 teaspoons sriracha, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix until creamy and well combined. Add a tiny splash of water or more mayo if mixture is too thick.
  6. Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves, aiming for a generous mound.
  7. Sprinkle crispy shallots evenly over each deviled egg. Add finely chopped fresh chives if desired.
  8. Refrigerate the eggs for at least 15 minutes before serving to let flavors meld. Serve cold or at room temperature.

Notes

Use fresh eggs for easier peeling. Fry shallots on moderate heat and watch carefully to avoid burning. Add extra sriracha on top for more heat. Crispy shallots are best added just before serving to maintain crunch. Can substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar. Air fryer can be used for shallots as a healthier alternative.
