Ingredients

8 hard boiled eggs use store bought to save time
¼ cup mayonnaise
½ tsp lemon juice
2 green onions sliced thin
1-3 tsp finely chopped chipotle chilis in adobo sauce*
salt & pepper to taste
smoked Paprika for topping

Instructions

Prep: Chop the green onions and chipotle chilis.
*Note on Using Chipotle Chilis: They're spicy! Taste them before adding them to your filling. If you're sensitive to spice, you don't have to use ANY of the chilis, you can just use the sauce they came in! It adds a lovely smoky flavor and just a bit of heat but makes the eggs still palatable to most people.
You also need the eggs hard boiled. I like to use store-bought hard-boiled eggs to save time. The yolks are perfectly yellow, and it cuts the process of making deviled eggs into a fraction of the time! You can also try our oven hard-boiled egg recipe.
Filling: Peel the hard-boiled eggs, slice them lengthwise in half and transfer the yolks to a bowl. Place the egg white shells on a serving platter and set them aside.
Crumble the egg yolks as finely as you can using a fork. Add in the mayo, lemon juice, half the green onions, chipotle chilis, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine, then taste and adjust seasonings as needed. (Some like a bite more mayo, others more pepper, etc.)
Assemble: Using a small 1 TBSP cookie scoop, scoop the egg filling into each egg white. Top each egg with some of the remaining onions and a sprinkling of smoked paprika. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Leftover deviled eggs will remain fresh for up to 3 days when stored properly. Place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain their quality.

Freezing deviled eggs is not recommended. The texture of the eggs can change after thawing, resulting in a less appealing dish.
