These deviled eggs combine tangy lime, spicy sriracha, and fresh cilantro for a quick, easy, and crowd-pleasing party appetizer that’s ready in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs (hard-boiled, peeled)
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons plain full-fat Greek yogurt
  • 12 teaspoons sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Smoked paprika (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Place 6 large eggs in a single layer in a large pot and cover with cold water by about an inch.
  2. Bring water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, then cover the pot and remove from heat. Let eggs sit for 10-12 minutes.
  3. Transfer eggs to an ice bath immediately to stop cooking and make peeling easier. After 5 minutes, gently crack and peel the shells under running water.
  4. Slice peeled eggs in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out yolks into a medium bowl.
  5. Mash yolks with a fork or whisk until smooth with no lumps.
  6. Stir in mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, and sriracha (start with 1 teaspoon and add more if desired).
  7. Mix in fresh lime juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to taste. Adjust lime and sriracha amounts to balance heat and tang.
  8. Fold in chopped fresh cilantro, reserving a few leaves for garnish.
  9. Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves, mounding slightly.
  10. Sprinkle lightly with smoked paprika and top with a small cilantro leaf for garnish.

Notes

Cool eggs immediately in an ice bath after boiling to make peeling easier. Adjust sriracha gradually to control heat. Use a piping bag for a neater presentation or a spoon for a rustic look. Eggs can be boiled up to 3 days in advance and assembled close to serving time for freshness.
