How to Make Spicy Deviled Eggs

This recipe is such a simple one, the most time consuming part is usually cooking the eggs!

There are many ways to hard boil eggs, but we prefer the old fashioned method of cooking the eggs in a pot for 10-12 minutes, featured on the Get Crackin’ website.

To the bowl add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, paprika, dill, cayenne and salt and pepper. We like our deviled eggs spicy but you can easily use less cayenne to your preference.
