The creamy, tangy filling is spiked with hot sauce and crumbled blue cheese, and the eggs are garnished with a sprinkle of green onions for added flavor and color. These deviled eggs are easy to prepare and can be made in advance, making them the perfect make-ahead appetizer.
Ingredients:
- 6 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons hot sauce
- 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then remove the pan from the heat, cover, and let stand for 10-12 minutes.
- Drain the eggs and transfer them to a bowl of ice water. Let the eggs cool for a few minutes, then gently tap them on the counter to crack the shells. Peel the eggs under cold running water.
- Slice the eggs in half lengthwise and carefully remove the yolks. Place the yolks in a small bowl and mash them with a fork. Add the mayonnaise, hot sauce, blue cheese, green onions, salt, and pepper and stir until well combined.
- Spoon the filling into the egg white halves, dividing it evenly. Garnish with additional green onions and a sprinkle of blue cheese, if desired.
- Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Tips:
- For perfectly cooked eggs every time, use the "shock and roll" method: shock the eggs in ice water immediately after boiling, and roll them gently on the counter to crack the shells. This makes peeling the eggs much easier.
- To make these deviled eggs in advance, prepare the filling and spoon it into the egg whites. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve, up to 24 hours in advance.
- For a vegetarian option, omit the blue cheese and use a vegan mayonnaise in place of regular mayo.
And there you have it – a delicious and unique twist on the classic deviled eggs recipe. The buffalo sauce and blue cheese add a tangy and spicy kick to the creamy filling, making these deviled eggs a hit at any party or gathering.
