In this recipe, the hot sauce and cayenne pepper give the deviled eggs their signature kick, while the sweet pickle relish helps balance out the heat. If you can���t find Nashville hot sauce, you can substitute it with any hot sauce and a bit of brown sugar to get a similar tangy, smoky, sweet, and spicy flavor.
How To Make Nashville Hot Deviled Eggs
- First, place your eggs in a pot of water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, let them cook for about 9-12 minutes.
- While the eggs are boiling, you can prepare your devilish filling. Mix together the mayonnaise, hot sauce, sweet pickle relish, mustard, salt, and pepper until it’s all smooth and creamy.
- After the eggs are done, peel them carefully and cut them in half. Take out the yolks and mix them with your spicy mayo mix.
- Finally, fill your egg halves with the mixture, sprinkle some cayenne pepper on top for an extra kick, and serve them up!
