Chipotle Deviled Eggs

This contemporary take on chipotle devilled eggs brings a smoky, sophisticated heat to a classic party favourite. By incorporating tinned chipotle chillies in adobo sauce, the creamy yolk filling is transformed with a deep, earthy spice that perfectly complements the cooling mayonnaise. The addition of fresh coriander leaves provides a bright finish, making these a standout choice for any festive gathering or seasonal buffet.

As a naturally dairy-free recipe, this dish is an excellent option for entertaining guests with specific dietary requirements without compromising on flavour. The eggs can be prepared up to a day in advance, allowing the spicy notes to develop while you focus on other hosting duties. Serve these as a bold appetiser or a protein-rich addition to a weekend brunch spread.

How to make Chipotle Deviled Eggs

Place eggs in large saucepan. Add enough cold water to cover. Bring to simmer over high heat. Reduce heat to low; simmer gently 5 minutes. Remove from heat, cover, and let stand 10 minutes. Drain eggs; cover with ice and water and let stand until cold.

Peel eggs and cut in half lengthwise. Spoon yolks into small bowl; arrange whites on platter. Finely grate yolks on small holes of box grater into medium bowl. Mix in mayonnaise, then 2 teaspoons chopped chipotle chillies. Add more chopped chillies, if desired, for more heat. Season filling to taste with salt, if desired. Using pastry bag fitted with 1/2-inch-diameter star tip, pipe filling into egg whites. Cover and chill eggs at least 2 hours and up to 1 day. Press 1 coriander leaf into filling in each egg and serve.
