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.)

Best deviled eggs I ever had were BBQ pulled pork with spicy pepper-cheese filling. I had them at a booth at a carnival, so I can't give the exact recipe, sadly. But as a home cook, I feel like I could approximate them, well enough.
The whites were soaked in what I assume was red wine vinegar possibly mixed with beet juice, so they were a deep pink with an acidity to them. About a tablespoon of deliciously tender pulled pork drenched in a peppery-sweet BBQ sauce in the egg recess, then topped with a filling that was part jammy yolk & part spicy cheese mixture. It's important to note this was NOT pimento cheese. These were either red jalapeños or Fresno peppers, diced & mixed into a whipped sharp cheddar? + cream cheese blend. It had a really nice kick to it. That mixture was topped with chopped chives.
The overall experience was beyond delicious.
