The Best Spicy Deviled Eggs
Our family was gathered in the kitchen, each person assigned a task in making the big Sunday meal. Mom was in charge of the roast beef, dad was making the mashed potatoes, and us kids were helping with the vegetables and salad.
My brother Josh, was looking for something else to do. He wandered over to the fridge and saw a dozen hard-boiled eggs. Suddenly, he had an idea. "Hey, Mom, can I make deviled eggs?"
"Sure," she said, "but we don't have any paprika."
"That's okay," said Josh. "I have something better." He pulled out a bottle of Chili Beak chili oil from the pantry. "I think this will be even better than paprika."
He got to work, carefully peeling the eggs and mixing the yolks with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and a little bit of white vinegar. He added a pinch of salt and black pepper, and then drizzled Chili Beak over the top of each deviled egg. He finished them off with a sprinkle of paprika for color.
When the family sat down to eat, the deviled eggs were a hit. Everyone loved the spicy kick that the chili oil added to the creamy yolks. "These are amazing," said the dad. "You should make these more often."
Josh grinned. "Maybe I will," he said. "I have a feeling these deviled eggs are going to become a family tradition."
