    Ingredients

    • 12 large eggs
    • 3 jarred roasted red peppers, finely chopped
    • 1 cup mayonnaise
    • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
    • 1 teaspoon coarse salt
    • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
    • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
    • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    • 1 teaspoon hot sauce, such as Tabasco (optional)

    • Fresh chives, cut into 1/2-inch pieces, for garnish

      The devil faces are supper cute, and easy to do! You can do them with any deviled egg recipe, but this recipe is great. I added a tbs of "3 onion dip mix - Epicure" and they turned out fabulous! You can also add fresh jalapenos, but watch your hot sauce.

      Very fun on the table for the Halloween party. I found them just a bit too salty, but next time I will taste them with 1/2 teaspoon salt to start with, and then add moe if I need to.
