Green Chile Deviled Eggs

Green Chile Deviled Eggs are even better than traditional deviled eggs because they have the wonderful Southwest flavors of spicy green chile and lime.

Why this recipe works:

Everyone loves a good deviled egg. Have you ever been to a party where they set out a tray of deviled eggs? Ever notice how fast they go?

This recipe looks like a standard deviled egg, but some minced roasted green chile peppers, lime juice, and cumin mixed in with the yolks gives them a ton of flavor and a bit of spice.

How to make this recipe:

1. Every deviled egg recipe starts with hard boiled eggs that have been peeled. Each egg is sliced lengthwise and the yolk is popped out into a bowl.
2. To the egg yolks, you will add mayonnaise, dijon mustard, minced green chile, lime juice, cumin and salt. This gets mashed up and mixed until smooth.
3. Then, all you need to do is either spoon or pipe the filling back into the egg white shells. Eat them right away or store them in the refrigerator for later.

Helpful tips:

• Be sure to pat the egg whites dry with a paper towel before filling them.
• If you plan on piping the filling back into the egg whites, be sure to mince the green chile very small, completely mash the egg yolks, and use a wide piping tip or cut a large whole in a plastic bag.
• If all of your deviled eggs are not eaten right away, store in an air tight container in the refrigerator. I like to set them on a paper towel to absorb any excess moisture that might form.
