- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon chipotle in adobo sauce
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
- 1/2 cup corn kernels
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro (optional garnish)
- Queso fresco or feta cheese (optional topping)
- Start by placing the eggs in a pot and covering them with cold water. Bring the water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
- Once boiling, remove the pot from heat, cover it with a lid, and let the eggs sit for 12-15 minutes.
- After the eggs have finished cooking, transfer them to an ice bath for about 5-10 minutes.
- Once cooled, gently tap the eggs on a hard surface to crack the shell, and peel them under running water.
- Cut each egg in half lengthwise and carefully remove the yolks, placing them in a mixing bowl.
- Use a fork or potato masher to mash the yolks until smooth and creamy.
- Add the mayonnaise, chipotle in adobo sauce, lime juice, corn kernels, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to the yolks. Stir until well combined.
- Using a spoon or a piping bag fitted with a star tip, fill each egg white half with the yolk mixture.
- Sprinkle the filled eggs with crumbled queso fresco or feta cheese, if desired. Garnish with a dash of paprika or a few cilantro leaves.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
