These easy Buffalo Deviled Eggs are a creative spin on an American classic. They only require a few ingredients to achieve a perfect balance of flavor and texture.
2tablespoonshot sauce (preferably Frank’s Red Hot),or more to taste
Kosher salt
½stalk celery,thinly sliced
½ounceblue cheese,crumbled
Instructions
Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then lower the heat to medium and cook for 7 minutes. Drain and run cold water over the eggs to cool them.
Carefully peel the eggs and halve them lengthwise. Gently remove the yolks and place them in the bowl of a small food processor. Set the whites aside on a plate.
Add mayonnaise, hot sauce, and salt to the egg yolks in the food processor bowl, then process until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides occasionally. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. You can make it spicier with more hot sauce, if desired.
Transfer the yolk mixture to a disposable piping bag or large zip-top bag and snip the tip of the bag (or one of the corners if it's a zip-top bag). Pipe the filling into each of the egg white hollows. Top with thinly sliced celery and crumbled blue cheese. You may also drizzle extra hot sauce on top of each egg for additional spice, if desired. Cover and refrigerate. Serve chilled.
Notes
The provided nutritional information uses full-fat Hellmann's mayonnaise. I prefer to use Light Hellmann's Mayonnaise for mine, which would reduce it to about 41 calories and about 3 g fat per egg half.
If you make these and plan to transport them, beware they can be a bit slippery! I would recommend placing a slightly damp paper towel (a dry paper towel can slide around on its own too) in the bottom of your storage container before placing the eggs in it to keep them from sliding around too much. You could also use a store-bought deviled egg tray or make your own deviled egg carrier.
