Customization Ideas

One of the best things about these Mexican Street Corn Deviled Eggs is how easy they are to customize.

For a more textured topping, consider adding diced red onions or chopped tomatoes to the corn mixture. This not only enhances the flavor but also adds a pop of color, making your deviled eggs even more visually appealing. The possibilities are endless, allowing you to cater to your personal taste preferences or dietary needs.

Ingredients

For the Deviled Eggs

6 large eggs
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon lime juice
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
Salt and pepper to taste

For the Topping

1 cup corn (fresh or canned)
1/4 cup cotija cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 teaspoon chili powder
Lime wedges for garnish

Mix well and set aside for topping the eggs.

Instructions

Prepare the Eggs

Place the eggs in a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then cover and remove from heat. Let sit for 10 minutes. Transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool.

Make the Filling

Once the eggs are cool, peel them and cut in half. Scoop out the yolks into a bowl and mash with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lime juice, chili powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.

Combine Toppings

In another bowl, mix the corn, cotija cheese, cilantro, mayonnaise, and chili powder.

Assemble the Deviled Eggs

Fill the egg whites with the yolk mixture and top with the corn mixture. Garnish with lime wedges and additional cilantro if desired.

Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Serving Suggestions

These deviled eggs are best served chilled, making them a refreshing appetizer on a warm day. Pair them with a light salad or tortilla chips to create a complete spread that complements the flavors of the dish. For a fun twist, consider serving them alongside a zesty salsa or guacamole for dipping.

If you’re looking to elevate your presentation, arrange the deviled eggs on a colorful platter garnished with additional cilantro and lime wedges. Not only does this enhance the visual appeal, but it also allows guests to personalize their experience by adding more lime or spice to their liking.

Storage Tips

If you have leftovers, store the deviled eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. To maintain their freshness, it’s best to keep the corn topping separate until you’re ready to serve. This prevents the egg whites from becoming soggy and ensures they stay delicious for longer.

For meal prep enthusiasts, these deviled eggs can also be made a day in advance. Just follow the recipe up to the assembly stage, then store the egg whites and yolk mixture separately. When you’re ready to serve, simply fill the egg whites and top with the corn mixture for a fresh and tasty appetizer.
