These Spicy Deviled Eggs are one of my favorites even though I’ve made a lot of variations on deviled eggs! And you can make the deviled eggs with chipotle and lime more or less spicy, depending on what you prefer.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Spicy<\/p>\n

This recipe for Spicy Deviled Eggs <\/strong>is one of my favorites out of the thousands of deviled egg recipes in the world. What do you think about the sound of deviled eggs that are just a bit spicy? And this recipe was back in the archives on my blog with an old photo that was blurry and didn’t show off how good these were. So recently Kara<\/a> and I gave the recipe an update.<\/p>\n

We didn’t change it much other than switching out yogurt for sour cream. That was a change I’d been making through the years since I don’t always have plain yogurt in my fridge. We kept the spicy chipotle chile pepper, but cut back just a bit on the amount of lime juice. (You can add more lime juice if you’re someone like me who likes a lot of lime!)<\/p>\n

And soon I bet you’ll be making perfect hard-boiled eggs<\/a> and dyeing eggs for Easter, so you might have a surplus of boiled eggs. If so, I hope you consider giving these Spicy Deviled Eggs a try!<\/p>\n

    \n
  • eggs<\/li>\n
  • mayo<\/li>\n
  • sour cream (or use more mayo if you prefer)<\/li>\n
  • fresh-squeezed lime juice; I used my fresh-frozen lime juice<\/a><\/li>\n
  • yellow mustard, not Dijon<\/li>\n
  • ground Chipotle chile Pepper<\/a> (affiliate link) or Green Tabasco Sauce<\/a> (affiliate link)<\/li>\n
  • salt<\/li>\n
  • green onions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    How spicy are the Spicy Deviled Eggs?<\/h2>\n

    If you use the 1\/4 teaspoon of ground Chipotle chile pepper the recipe specifies, these are only slightly spicy. But once you taste the egg yolk mixture, you can make it more spicy if you prefer!<\/p>\n

    What if you don’t have ground Chipotle for this recipe?<\/h2>\n

    You may not have ground Chipotle chili pepper or want to buy it just to make Spicy Deviled Eggs. In that case I would use a small amount of Green Tabasco Sauce<\/a> (affiliate link) to add the spicy flavor. And if you prefer Jalapeno flavor over the smoky flavor of Chipotle chiles, you might even like the Green Tabasco better.<\/p>\n

    How many Deviled Eggs does this recipe make?<\/h2>\n

    This recipe makes 12 deviled egg halves, or 6 servings if you eat two halves. It can easily be double or tripled if you want to make deviled eggs for a crowd! And I start with 7 eggs because the whites get mangled on at least one egg, so you might end up with 14 egg halves!<\/p>\n

    How low in carbs are the Spicy Deviled Eggs?<\/h2>\n

    For this recipe, two deviled egg halves (one egg) has about 2 net carbs and 8 grams of protein.<\/p>\n

    How to Make Spicy Deviled Eggs:<\/h2>\n

    (This is only a summary of the steps for the recipe; please scroll down for complete printable recipe. Or if you use the JUMP TO RECIPE<\/strong> link at the top of the page, it will take you directly to the complete recipe.)<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. First, make perfect hard-boiled eggs<\/a> using one of the methods in my post.<\/li>\n
    2. Let eggs cool, peel, and cut in half.<\/li>\n
    3. Remove yolks and put into bowl. Mash yolks well with a fork.<\/li>\n
    4. Slice green onions, and finely chop with chef\u2019s knife.<\/li>\n
    5. Mix together lime juice and ground Chipotle chile powder (or use about 1\/2 tsp Green Tabasco Sauce if you prefer.)<\/li>\n
    6. Add lime-Chipotle mixture to yolks.<\/li>\n
    7. Then stir in mayo, mustard, sour cream (or more mayo), salt, and half the chopped green onions.<\/li>\n
    8. Taste for seasoning to see if you want more lime juice, mustard, ground Chipotle chile powder, or salt.<\/li>\n
    9. Stir until mixture is well combined.<\/li>\n
    10. Arrange eggs white halves on serving plate.<\/li>\n
    11. Use a rubber scraper to scoop yolk mixture into a small plastic bag. Cut off one corner of the bag (look for it!) and squeeze from the top to force the yolk mixture out the hole, into the egg halves.<\/li>\n
    12. When all egg white halves are filled with yolk mixture, sprinkle with remaining green onions.<\/li>\n
    13. Serve the Spicy Deviled Eggs immediately, or refrigerate until serving.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
