I've used this recipe for years with discriminating crowds only...it gets
raves. You can make it has hot as you like by adding more or different
peppers. It's not as much work as it appears.
DEVILISH EGGS
1 Dozen eggs BARELY hard boiled, peeled, sliced in half length wise 
mix yolks thoroughly with:
3 tblsp melted butter, 3 tblsp mayonnaise, 1/2 tsp Coleman's dry mustard, 1
tblsp finely chopped fresh hot pepper (use your favorite), 1/4 tsp granulated
garlic, 1/4 tsp ground habanero, 1/4 tsp ground cayenne, 1/4 tsp ground white
pepper and a pinch each of  gumbo file, basil, oregano, sage, rosemary and
thyme.
Stuff each half with plenty of the yolk mixture and sprinkle with paprika (or
chili powder for an extra zing) and top with a couple pieces of sliced green
onion.
Serve with your favorite bottle of mustard or green chili based hot sauce on
the side.

An added note:
If you like a REALLY good egg salad sandwich boil one more egg really hard
(10-12 minutes), chop it and three devilish egg halfs coarsely, mix with 1 tsp
mayonnaise, 1tblsp heavy cream, 1 tsp chopped plum tomato meat, 1 tsp chopped
celery, 1tsp chopped green onion and your favorite cheese chopped finely. This
should make 2 sandwiches.YUM!
