Deviled Eggs with a Kick from Kelli’s Kitchen
Today is very sunny, making me think of spring but it is windy and very cold reminding me it is still winter here. Basically that means a part of me wants to get outside and run, hop, skip, and jump or at least get outside and THINK about running, hopping, skipping, and jumping. The other part of me wants to stay inside and make some warm comforting food. I compromised by making a comforting dish that is very fattening (because I make it that way) and we generally only eat it at Easter. This year, I’m going to love it TWO times! Most of you have your own recipe, loved by your own family and you wouldn’t change for the world – like me – but I’m sharing mine so that if you ever get a hankerin’ for something different, I’ve got you covered!
Deviled Eggs with a Kick
Ingredients:
9 eggs, hard boiled – I don’t have any special tips on how to get them that way, just boil them till you think they are done then crack and peel them under cold water.
1 Tablespoon mayo
1 teaspoon mustard
Dashes of Hot Sauce – I use Cholula’s because it’s the BEST! This is the KICK I told you about.
½ teaspoon Dried Parsley
¼ teaspoon Cumin (secret ingredient!)
Salt and Pepper to taste.
Directions:
1. Slice the eggs in half and place yolks in bowl.
2. Mash up the yolks.

3. Throw in the rest of the ingredients and mix it up really well.

4. Pipe or spoon into the eggs.
You can let them chill if you like or eat them rather warm. Whatever, just eat them!
I have seen those dyed eggs all over the Pinterest so I decided to dye a few with food coloring. Mostly I saw them with pastels but I used some dark colors: Green, Purple, and Yellow. Not perfect but pretty darn cool!

I’m not a big fan of deviled eggs, but I think I might like these.

Thank you!
Yum! I like the idea of spicing it up! I’m a HUGE fan of hot sauce and spicy food… my family? Not so much?
We make ours basically like yours… minus the spices and hot sauce. Instead, I add a little extra mayo to make them creamy and some dill. They’re pretty yummy that way, too 😉
That sounds good! I would like to try it next time with some dill – I have some in the pantry.
Make half spicy and half dill-y. That’s what I’m going to do 😉 That way there’s something for everyone!
Great idea! I will let you know (after Easter) how they turn out!
There is nothing like a good deviled egg! I love them so much I almost bought a cute sign for my chicken coop that said, “Wicked Chickens Lay Deviled Eggs”. YUM!

What a cute sign! Thanks they were really good tonight!
I LOVE deviled eggs! My mom is the only person I know that makes them. I bet the hot sauce really does give it that extra kick. Thanks!
Yes, I wish we had anther day like Monday—70 degrees and beautiful! You must try wasabi paste in deviled eggs. You must try jalapeno eggs too!!!! (Check out my Diablo Deviled Eggs—right up you alley!)
I will! That sounds fantastic! Thanks.
Yum! I love eggs; hardboiled (my youngest calls those cracked eggs), over easy, deviled, egg salad. You can’t go wrong. This definitely made me crave some good deviled eggs 🙂
One of my other blogger friends referred me to her site where she had some really spicy deviled eggs – Diablo Deviled Eggs – now I want some of those too! I’m afraid my resolve to only eat them twice a year is going out the window!
LOL That’s what happens when you blog great food. You always want to eat it!
I love deviled eggs. I will have to try out the cumin secret! I would of never thought to add it! Thanks for stopping by my blog and linking up!
Thank you so much for hosting!
Looks cool! I love those colors although I’m afraid if I try them colored, the picky Dutch eaters here will be terrified. I remember making “pandan” chiffon cake which is green-colored. It tastes wonderful but my Dutch audience are always intimidated by the sight of a green cake, thinking that if they eat it, they will turn green too. 😉
Have they not read “Green Eggs and Ham”???? 🙂
No. Neither have I. 😉
Oh gosh – I thought the whole world knew all of Dr. Seuss’ books – Well, to be truthful, my husband wouldn’t touch them either! 🙂
I love deviled eggs but I haven’t had them in ages ~ Gotta check these out 🙂
Great – I hope you enjoy them!
And there’s the egg keeper! Look how pretty! I love the hot sauce-I dump hot sauce on everything!!! I am smitten with the colored deviled eggs! Wow! Off to check out all your other tantalizing recipes!
I haven’t made these in ages. The cumin is a GREAT idea 🙂
Thank you. I have loved cumin my entire life – even before it was something mainstream. Dad was from New Mexico and when he cooked, he put it in everything….now I do too.
