How to Make Mexican Street Corn Deviled Eggs
For these slightly spicy deviled eggs made with grilled corn and Mexican-inspired seasonings and garnishes, you’re going to follow these straightforward steps.
Step 1: Hard Boiling Eggs
It seems like boiling eggs should be common sense and the easiest task ever. But sometimes it’s not. If you’ve ever struggled with eggs come out with a green rim around a dry yolk, or a too-runny yolk, or those little buggers don’t want to peel, or any other myriad of boiled egg issues, I have a How To Make Perfect Hard Boiled Eggs post. For the hard boiled eggs that you’re going to use in this recipe, in a nutshell, you’re going to:
place eggs in a large pot with cold water on your stove-top bring the water to a rolling boil with medium-high heat turn off the burner cover the pot with a lid and let the eggs stay in the water for 10 minutes use a slotted spoon to remove them rinse under cold water and plunge in an ice bath in a medium bowl
Step 2: Grilled Mexican Corn
Since you can’t have Mexican street corn deviled eggs without grilled corn, that’s next. Also make sure to consult my How To Make Perfect Hard Boiled Eggs post for other tricks for perfect boiled eggs. I have a popular recipe for Grilled Mexican Corn (Elote). That recipe involves grilling the corn over an outdoor gas grill and then brushing the freshly grilled corn with a seasoned mayo mixture and sprinkling cheese on the corn. The overall grilling concept remains the same though. I suggest:
preheating your grill either oil the grill grates or add olive oil to fresh corn still on the cob grill the for about 10 minutes total, slowly rotating it to ensure even cooking remove the corn kernels from the cob with a knife or corn peeler
Step 3: Deviled Egg Assembly
After you’ve got you’ve hard boiled the eggs and the grilled corn ris eady, you can assemble this easy deviled egg recipe in no time. Step 1: Hard boil, cool in ice water, peel, and slice the eggs. Place yolks in a bowl. Step 2: With a fork, mash the cooked yolks in a large bowl along with a few tablespoons mayonnaise, Dijon, jalapeno, grilled corn, red onion, lime juice, teaspoon salt, and stir to create the filling mixture. Step 3: Add the mixture to a piping bag or a plastic bag with the corner snipped – or you can do this carefully with a small spoon if you don’t want to deal with bags of any sort! Step 4: Carefully add a bit of the filling mixture to the hole of each egg white. Step 5: Place on a serving plate and garnish with a scant quarter cup cotija cheese, cilantro, dash of chili powder, and serve with lime wedges!

Storing Leftover Deviled Eggs
Deviled eggs of any kind are best eaten freshly made — although you can make them about 12 hours in advance if you’re wanting to get ahead for an event. If you have extra deviled eggs, they’ll keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 to 3 days.
