Preparation
  1. Boil the Eggs: Place the eggs in a pot and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil, cover, and remove from heat. Let them sit for 10-12 minutes.
  2. Cool and Shell: Transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool. Peel the eggs once they’re cool enough to handle.
  3. Prepare the Filling: Cut the peeled eggs in half lengthwise and scoop out the yolks into a mixing bowl. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Nashville hot seasoning, hot sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix until creamy and well-combined.
  4. Fill the Eggs: Using a spoon or piping bag, fill the egg whites with the yolk mixture generously.
  5. Garnish: Sprinkle with your choice of garnishes like green onions, crispy fried shallots, or smoked paprika for a beautiful presentation.
  6. Chill: For optimal flavor, refrigerate the filled eggs for at least 30 minutes before serving.
