Recipe Notes
This spicy deviled eggs recipe is SO easy, you’ll be making it weekly. Read ahead for a few tips to make them the best version of themselves.
Ingredient Notes
A few simple ingredients bring this bold and mouthwatering dish to life! You may even have these in your pantry already:
Eggs – The bedrock of this recipe, eggs, are an amazing ingredient for no carb snacks. Mostly protein and good-for-you fat, these little beauties shine in this recipe.
Make sure your eggs are fresh and don’t be afraid to boil them ahead of time.
I love using an instant pot for this – add ½ cup of water to the pot, place eggs on the rack, and cook at high pressure for 6 minutes before moving them quickly to an ice bath. Don’t worry if you don’t have an instant pot – saucepan instructions are in the recipe.
Hot Sauce – If you’re eating low carb, check your labels! Hot sauce can often have sneaky carbs we want to avoid. Look for a hot sauce like Cholula, Tapatio or Tabasco with no added sugar.
Blue cheese – this unique cheese has a few trademarks – its blue hue and it’s slightly strong smell! Something you may not know? It’s totally packed with calcium, more than most other keto cheese. And it is the perfect complement for hot foods, making it perfect for these spicy deviled eggs!
Old Bay – Here’s the deal, I find traditional deviled eggs to be a bit boring at times because there’s a large piece of eggwhite with virtually no flavor. So I like to sprinkle my egg whites in some sort of seasoning.
Old bay is great here because it’s a spice mix, so you don’t get too much of one spice in every bit.
You can leave it out! Or swap for your favorite spice mix. If you leave out the Old Bay, be sure to add 1/4 more teaspoon of salt to the filling.
Storing Tips
Spicy deviled eggs are a cinch to make, but there is one little warning when making them. If you’re not going to be eating immediately, wait to assemble them.
Go ahead and mix up your filling and have your egg whites ready to go, but hold off on filling these keto snacks until right before serving. Often, water condenses on the egg white, adding unnecessary liquid to the filling and making it separate. 
Can You Freeze Them?
Unfortunately, these spicy deviled eggs are a bit on the picky side. While they can stand to be refrigerated, they don’t do well frozen. Neither eggs nor mayonnaise freezes well, and these yummy bites will turn into a gooey wet mess when they thaw.
Thankfully, these snacks are ready in a snap!
Meal Prepping Tips
This spicy deviled eggs recipe makes 12 servings – great for a crowd or for meal prepping. The best way to use these as a low carb snack while meal prepping is to keep them in two airtight containers in the fridge and assemble when you’re ready to eat!
Pair them with some romaine leaves or celery sticks for a nutritionally balanced, quick and easy lunch!
Recipe Variations
This spicy deviled eggs recipe is already a variation, and you can bet there are even more healthy recipes to make it your own!
- Swap Mayo. there are definitely ways around using mayo. But deviled eggs long for fat, so you’ll need to get a little creative. You can use keto greek yogurt as the dressing instead.
- Turn These Into A Salad. Chop everything up and add a bit more mayo for a deviled egg salad.
- Add some protein. Mix in cooked and crumbled bacon (ala bacon deviled eggs) or diced shrimp for shrimp deviled eggs.

Spicy Deviled Eggs
Print Recipe Pin RecipeIngredients
Eggs:
- 12 Large Eggs
- 1 Tablespoon Cajun Seasoning*
Filling:
- 1/4 Cup Mayonnaise
- 1/4 Teaspoon Kosher Salt
- 1 Tablespoon Hot Sauce
- 1/4 Cup Blue Cheese
- 1/3 Cup Celery finely chopped
Instructions
- Bring eggs (12 large in size) to a boil in a pot, covered with 1 1/2" of water.
- Once boiling, turn off the heat and secure the lid. Set aside and allow the eggs to cook like this for 18 minutes.
- Once cooked, place eggs in a large bowl with water and ice to prevent them from cooking longer.
- After the eggs have cooled enough to handle, peel the eggs and cut them in half lengthwise.
- Place egg yolks in a large bowl and set aside.
- Pour the Old Bay (1 tablespoon) onto a large plate.
- Dip the cut side of each of the egg whites into the Old Bay, then place them cut side up on a plate.
- Mash the egg yolks with a fork along with mayonnaise (1/4 cup), salt (1/4 teaspoon), and hot sauce (1 tablespoon).
- Add blue cheese (1/4 cup) and finely chopped celery (1/3 cup) and stir together using a rubber spatula.
- Taste test the filling to ensure it's as spicy as you would like. If you want it to be spicier, add more hot sauce, OR (do what I did…) and drizzle additional hot sauce on top once assembled.
- Scoop the filling into each of the egg whites. Enjoy!

Lindsey’s Tips
- Cajun Seasoning doesn’t add a lot of “spice” but it decorates the edge and adds some flavor. If you want to leave it out, no problem! Just increase the salt in the filling by 1/4 teaspoon.
