Chipotle deviled eggs are just so good. We like a spicy deviled egg over at our house! Bruce added a bit of chipotle to our deviled eggs a few years ago, and ever since then, they have been a favorite. These chipotle deviled eggs have a smoky, slightly spicy flavor. You can adjust the amount of spice to your liking. This seasoning can be added as canned chipotles in adobo sauce, or by using chipotle spice.

How to Boil EASY TO PEEL Hard Boiled Eggs:

• Fill a medium or large pot with enough water to cover eggs by at least 2 inches, but do not add eggs yet. Bring water to a rolling boil.
• Once water is boiling, add the eggs and adjust the temperature to maintain a rolling boil. Start a timer for 12 minutes and prepare an ice bath.
• When the timer goes off, remove eggs from the pot and immediately place into ice bath for at least 10 minutes before peeling. Peel eggs, and sit on a paper towel to absorb any moisture.
