It’s one of my favorite food holidays of the year – National cheese doodle day! My favorite kind is of course the classic crunchy Cheetos. No flaming hot Cheetos for me, thanks. It’s not even that they are spicy, I just don’t like their flavor.

For today’s Cheetos deviled eggs recipe I obviously stuck to my preferences. Could you use puffs? Yes, because you are just going to pulverize them anyway, but since there will be leftovers you should buy which you want to eat.

If you prefer a more saturated Cheetos flavor or don’t want to deal with pulverizing Cheetos, you can try my friend Peabody’s Cheetos deviled eggs that use the cheese packet from Cheetos mac and cheese – genius.

Otherwise, these Cheetos deviled eggs are pretty standard outside of the addition of finely shredded cheddar cheese and crushed Cheetos into the filling. Once the whites are filled, I topped them with more crushed Cheetos and little bites of whole Cheetos.

Ingredients

• 12 eggs
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1 Tbsp yellow mustard

Directions

1. In a pot of salted water, add the eggs. Bring to a boil, cover, remove from heat, and let cook until hard boiled, approximately 12 minutes (I love my egg indicator). Drain and let cool.
2. Once cool, remove the shell, cut in half lengthwise, and scoop the yolks into a medium bowl. Place the hard boiled whites on a tray.
3. Add the mayonnaise, mustard, and vinegar. Blend until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir in the cheese and 2 tablespoons of Cheetos crumbs.
4. Spoon or pipe filling back into the egg whites. Chill until ready to serve. Immediately before serving, sprinkle with remaining Cheetos crumbs. Garnish with small Cheetos if desired.
