Chipotle Deviled Eggs are an easy, interesting, and flavorful variation on classic deviled eggs – great for any picnic or party. Essentially it’s just the addition of minced chipotle in adobo sauce to a traditional deviled egg recipe.
All I did here was start with my classic deviled egg recipe, stir in a tablespoon of minced chipotle, and then keep adding chipotle until I thought it was the right balance. When I make deviled eggs, I always add the ingredients (mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, salt) to taste. Then I add the chipotle to taste. And make it look pretty with pieces of chipotle and maybe a dusting of chili or chipotle powder.
This recipe is really pretty bombproof. Adapt it and tweak it however you want. The chipotle is a great variation and you might want it in the hot and spicy side, or you can make it subtle and mild. The way I made it here is on the mild side, but you can definitely taste the distinct chipotle flavor. I haven’t taken it to a pot luck yet, but I definitely will.
I love deviled eggs, but it’s nice to have a new twist on this classic. Hope you like them!
