Description

A delicious fusion of classic deviled eggs and the bold, zesty flavors of Mexican street corn, perfect for parties and gatherings.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup cotija cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup corn kernels (grilled or canned, drained)
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Extra cotija cheese, cilantro, and chili powder for garnish

Instructions

  1. Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then cover and remove from heat. Let sit for 10-12 minutes, then transfer to an ice bath to cool.
  2. Peel the eggs and slice in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl.
  3. Mash the yolks with mayonnaise, cotija cheese, corn kernels, lime juice, chili powder, garlic powder, cilantro, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  4. Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg whites.
  5. Garnish with extra cotija cheese, chopped cilantro, and a sprinkle of chili powder.
  6. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

  • Grilling the corn adds a smoky flavor that enhances the dish.
  • You can substitute feta cheese if cotija is unavailable.
  • Adjust chili powder to taste for desired spice level.
