Fiery Sriracha Deviled Eggs

Whipped with heat!

Deviled eggs are a very satisfying BBQ side or appetizer, but they aren’t typically known for their spiciness. Why not? Eggs and hot sauce are a power pairing and that holds true for deviled eggs too. Whipping in Sriracha with a little lime juice brings this typically mild dish to fiery life. Top them with scallions, or for some extra heat, pull out that paprika or cayenne pepper powder and sprinkle away!
