Buffalo Blue Cheese Deviled Eggs Recipe

The previous riddle of whether or not the hen or the egg got here first is well answered by anybody who understands evolution: The egg predates the hen. Similar goes for Buffalo hen and deviled eggs—the deviled-egg concept lengthy precedes Buffalo wings. However why make it a contest? This recipe provides each their due by smashing them collectively into an undeniably scrumptious chunk.

The idea is easy: Begin with basic deviled eggs, then swap the same old mustard and warmth (paprika, cayenne, Tabasco) for Frank’s RedHot, crumbled blue cheese, and finely diced celery. You get all of the flavors of a hot-wing platter in a simple, less-messy, pop-in-your-mouth kind.

Right here’s a extra apt query: May I’ve been the primary to think about this again in 2014, once I initially printed the recipe right here on Severe Eats? Most likely not, however I’m okay with that. Being first is overrated anyway.

(Oh, and in case you’re questioning why the recipe requires six eggs however then solely fills eight of the 12 halves, that’s as a result of we like our deviled eggs very generously stuffed. Be at liberty to fill all 12 halves with much less yolk combination in every, if that’s your pace.)
