Huevos Diablos

For the three ingredient challenge, I decided to try to make a Mexican influenced devilled egg. b_b get credit for the name.

The three ingredients:

  1. Eggs
  2. Poblano Pepper
  3. Sour Cream

   pepper, paprika, and salt

Fine chopped the Poblano.

Boiled 6 eggs and cut them in half lengthwise.

Scooped out the yolks.

Added pepper, black pepper, and about 1/4 cup sour cream to the yolks and mashed it together.

Stuffed the egg whites and topped with paprika and a dash of salt.

Lessons learned

Huevos Diablos were quite good, but they weren't great. They didn't have enough kick to them.

However, I think I know how to make them much better. Typically, devilled eggs calls for mayonaise and vinegar to be mixed with the yolk. I think that sour cream is a fine substitute for mayo, but I predict that Cholula would be a killer substitute for vinegar in this recipe. As Cholula is basically vinegar and hot pepper, it's not really even a substitution. I might also go with jalapeno instead of poblano pepper.

I'll probably be bringing Huevos Diablos to a holiday gathering.
