Ingredients

The ingredient list is short and easy to adapt. Below are the core components and optional garnishes; exact quantities appear in the recipe card at the bottom.

Hard-boiled eggs – Use reliably cook-and-peel methods so the egg whites are smooth. A small amount of baking soda in the boiling water helps the shells release more easily.
Mayonnaise – Provides a creamy base for the filling.
Buffalo sauce – Choose your favorite brand or heat level to control the spice.
Salt and pepper – To taste.
Optional toppings – Smoked paprika, crumbled blue cheese, and diced green onions make great finishing touches.

Instructions

These step-by-step instructions make the recipe straightforward. For a smoother filling, you can use a food processor to combine the yolks and other filling ingredients until silky.

Hard boiled egg whites on a plate with the yolks removed

Prepare the water and eggs. Add 6–8 inches of water to a large pot and bring to a rolling boil. Add 1 teaspoon baking soda to the boiling water, then gently lower in the eggs. Cover the pot and reduce heat to medium. Cook for 11 minutes.
Shock and peel. Remove the pot from heat. Use a slotted spoon to transfer eggs immediately to an ice water bath and chill for 15 minutes. Tap and peel the shells, then slice each egg in half lengthwise.
Make the filling. Remove yolks and place them in a medium bowl. Mash with the back of a fork until crumbly. Add 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons buffalo sauce, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Stir until smooth and creamy. For an ultra-smooth texture, pulse the mixture in a food processor.
Fill the whites. Spoon or transfer the yolk mixture to a piping bag and pipe it into the egg white halves.
Garnish and chill. Finish with a sprinkle of smoked paprika, crumbled blue cheese, and diced green onions if desired. Chill the filled eggs in the refrigerator for at least 15–20 minutes before serving. Serve cold.

Tip: Piping the filling gives a cleaner, more attractive presentation, but spooning works perfectly for a quick batch.
