Hot Dog Deviled Eggs : You Need to Try

Print Recipe

When you think of deviled eggs, your mind probably jumps to the classic picnic or holiday version—creamy, tangy yolk filling nestled in perfectly boiled egg whites. 

Ingredients

Scale

  • 6 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled

  • 1 cooked hot dog, finely chopped (pan-seared or grilled for extra flavor)

  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise

  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard (or Dijon for a tangier kick)

  • ½ teaspoon white vinegar or pickle juice

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • Smoked paprika, for garnish

  • Chopped chives or green onion, optional topping

Optional add-ins:

  • Sweet pickle relish or dill relish

  • A dash of hot sauce for heat

  • Shredded cheddar for extra richness

  • Ketchup drizzle for that full hot dog effect

Instructions

Step 1: Boil the eggs
Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover, remove from heat, and let sit for 10–12 minutes. Transfer to an ice bath, then peel when cool.

Step 2: Cook the hot dog
While the eggs cool, sear the hot dog in a skillet or grill it until nicely browned. This adds flavor and texture. Let cool, then finely chop.

Step 3: Slice and separate
Once eggs are peeled, slice them in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the yolks into a bowl and set the whites on a platter.

Step 4: Make the filling
Mash the yolks with a fork. Add mayo, mustard, vinegar or pickle juice, salt, pepper, and the chopped hot dog. Mix until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 5: Fill the eggs
Spoon the filling into the egg whites, or pipe it using a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off for a neater look.

Step 6: Garnish and serve
Sprinkle with smoked paprika and chopped chives for color and extra flavor. Add optional toppings like relish or a tiny ketchup swirl for hot dog flair.

Notes

Use older eggs for easier peeling. Fresher eggs tend to cling to the shell, making them tricky to peel cleanly.

Grill the hot dog if possible. That char adds an amazing smoky flavor to the creamy filling.

Don’t overmix. A slightly chunky texture is great—especially when you’ve got hot dog bits for added bite.
