Ingredients You Need
Here are the ingredients you'll need for spicy goat cheese deviled eggs:
- Eggs: It's actually better to use slightly older eggs for this recipe. They will be easier to peel.
- Goat cheese: Any brand of goat cheese will work.
- Mayonnaise: This is a classic ingredient in deviled eggs. I love using Duke's mayo.
- Sriracha: You can additional sriracha if you want the deviled eggs to be even spicier.
- Morton kosher salt/black pepper: These are used for additional seasoning.
- Chives: This is a completely optional ingredient, but it adds a touch of elegance to the deviled eggs.
How To Make This Recipe
1. Add eggs to a saucepan and fill with cold water just until the water covers the eggs. Place the saucepan over high heat until boiling. Immediately turn off the heat, cover with a lid, and allow the eggs to sit for 10 - 12 minutes.
2. Transfer the eggs to an ice bath and allow them to sit for an additional 10 minutes. One completely cool to the touch, peel. Then, slice the eggs in half lengthwise and remove the yolks.
3. Add the egg yolks, goat cheese, mayonnaise, and sriracha in a high-powered food processor or blender. Cover and blend on high speed until creamy and fully combined. Taste and mix in salt and pepper, as needed.
4. Fill each egg white with the egg yolk mixture using a spoon or piping bag fitted with a round tip. Finally, garnish with a piece of chive.
Expert Tips
- Make Ahead: Prep these deviled eggs up to 2 days ahead of serving. Store the boiled egg whites and filling separately in the refrigerator. Before serving, fill and garnish the deviled eggs.
- Depending on what goat cheese you use, you may not need additional salt for seasoning. Taste the filling first before adding more salt to the recipe.
- Are you having a hard time peeling your boiled eggs? It's easier to peel eggs that aren't very fresh. If possible, store the eggs in the fridge for 1 - 2 weeks before boiling.
