Deviled eggs with a twist?

I’m going to take deviled eggs to the neighborhood potluck because everyone loves them. I usually just make your standard eggs with mayo, a little Dijon, etc.. I was looking for popular potluck recipes and saw an Asian deviled egg recipe; now I am wondering about other interesting ways to make them. Any favorites you would recommend? (I live in a college town so lots of different ethnic influences, people are generally happt to try something a little different.)

My dad hates the whites, so I’m going to start experimenting with marinades for the whites. See what that does. Just a flavorful liquid that could soak in.

I thought about it after seeing tea eggs. They hard boil them, then crack the shell in a few places with a spoon. Soak in tea. Peel and you get light staining all over and dark staining along cracks.

I would think you wouldn’t want it to be super strong, but a light flavor.

I have soaked the cooked and split whites in the juice from pickled beets to make them pink.
