Print Recipe

A spicy and crunchy twist on classic deviled eggs featuring pickled jalapeños and crispy shallots, perfect for parties and gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons pickled jalapeños, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 large shallot, thinly sliced
  • Vegetable oil (for frying shallots)
  • Smoked paprika (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

  1. Place 6 large eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by about an inch. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, then cover, remove from heat, and let sit for 10 minutes.
  2. Transfer eggs to an ice bath and cool completely, about 5 minutes.
  3. Gently tap each egg on the counter to crack the shell, then roll lightly to loosen. Peel under running water if needed and pat dry.
  4. Slice the shallot as thinly as possible. Heat about 1 cup of vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry shallots in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
  5. Slice eggs in half lengthwise and scoop out yolks into a mixing bowl.
  6. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, pickled jalapeños, white vinegar, salt, and pepper to the yolks. Mash and mix until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  7. Fill each egg white half with the yolk mixture using a spoon or piping bag.
  8. Top each deviled egg with crispy shallots and a dash of smoked paprika.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving to let flavors meld. Serve slightly cool.

Notes

Use older eggs for easier peeling. Fry shallots at medium heat and watch closely to avoid burning. For dairy-free, swap mayonnaise with avocado mayo. Leftover filling makes a great spread. Chill eggs for at least 15 minutes before serving. To re-crisp shallots, warm them briefly in an oven.
