Buffalo Ranch Deviled Eggs are classic deviled eggs with a spicy, cooling twist! This irresistible appetizer is full of craveable flavor.
If you’re looking for a unique dish to make or take to your 4th of July festivities, you’ve got to give Buffalo Ranch Deviled Eggs a try!
Deviled Eggs are a classic picnic and potluck staple though I’ve given them a spicy twist with this buffalo-ranch rendition. They are crazy delicious and made with just 4 ingredients.
Just a touch spicy and balanced out by cooling Ranch dressing, topped with zingy green onions and crumbled blue cheese – there is nothing better. You can make a batch ahead of time for your 4th of July party then stash ’em in the fridge until your guests arrive, OR make then immediately take a platter to your get together.
Buffalo Ranch Deviled Eggs are fabulous fresh, made-ahead, cold, or even room temperature. You cannot lose with this dish!
They’re actually so good that I added bacon to a couple then decided not to include it in the final recipe because it was taking away from the deviled egg’s overall deliciousness. Are you hearing me? This dish doesn’t even need bacon!
Start by placing a dozen eggs in the bottom of a big pot then add enough water to cover the tops of the eggs by an inch. I just use my finger as a guide – once the water’s hit my first finger joint (knuckle?) I know I’m good!
Bring the water to a boil then place a lid on the pot, remove it from the heat, and then let the eggs sit for exactly 11 minutes. Once the timer dings, transfer the eggs to a big bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
Once the eggs are cool, peel ’em on up!
My favorite way to peel hardboiled eggs is to gently smash the shell on a cutting board then peel under a trickle of water with a colander underneath. Works like a charm!
Cutting into a hard boiled egg is always a nail-biting experience, praying you don’t see a green ring, but that 11 minute cooking time cranks out perfect, pale yellow egg yolks every time.
Slice the eggs in half (make sure you use a smooth bladed knife vs a serrated knife, which would leave slice marks in the eggs,) then pop the yolks into a big Ziplock bag. I gently squeeze the eggs to get the yolks to pop out, but you can use a small spoon to help, too.
Add 3 Tablespoons each Ranch dressing and buffalo wing sauce to the bag then seal it up and smush until the yolks are completely smooth.
Finally, snip a corner off the bag then pipe the mixture into the egg halves. Top with sliced green onions (mandatory,) and blue cheese (optional, but heavenly!) then dig in.
Like I said, you can serve these Buffalo Ranch Deviled Eggs right away or cover then refrigerate until party time. Enjoy!
Ingredients
- 12 large eggs
- 3 Tablespoons buffalo wing sauce, I like Frank's or Sweet Baby Ray's
- 3 Tablespoons Ranch dressing, or bleu cheese dressing
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 2 oz blue cheese, crumbled
Directions
- Place eggs in a large pot then cover tops by one inch with water. Bring water to a boil then remove pot from heat, place a lid on top, and then let sit for 11 minutes. Transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water then peel when cool enough to handle.
- Slice eggs in half then pop out egg yolks into a plastic bag, using a small spoon to help if necessary. Add buffalo wing sauce and Ranch dressing to the bag then seal and smush until the yolks are completely smooth (add up to a Tablespoon more each buffalo wing sauce and Ranch dressing if mixture is too thick.) Snip off a corner of the bag then pipe into egg halves. Top with green onions and blue cheese, if using, then serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Thank you so much, Judy!!
Oh dear, eggs are going in the pot right now. I can’t wait, I can’t wait, I can’t wait.
Made this for the 4th of July and I can’t get enough of them! Another great recipe as usual! I agree, bacon not necessary! These are soooooo good!
Hello Kristin,
This looks like a great recipe. I just wanted to ask: why are you sponsoring an ad from AshleyMadison? You seem like the last person who would… just out of curiosity.
Been your fan for years now.
Cheers!
Hi Marie, thanks so much for letting me know! I definitely don’t sponsor this company, rather it’s an ad that popped through from one of my ad networks. I’ll be sure to get it blocked. Thank you again for the heads up!
I’m Iowa born and raised and now living in Florida. Husband retired from the grocery store with an HV in the name. Just found your blog and love it. Signed up and will be following along, thanks you made my day !
Yummy twist on a classic appetizer! Thanks for sharing this – I hope that you and your family have a wonderful 4th of July weekend.
I generally don’t like Deviled eggs because of the mayo, but my husband is not much of a fan of Buffalo sauce. How spicy would you say then end result is and do you think the recipe would work with a shift of ingredients to tame it down? Like more ranch and less Buffalo sauce? These look so good I want to make them!
The end result is definitely not too spicy, but you can absolutely change the ratio of Ranch dressing to buffalo sauce to suit your tastes better!
Omg. omg. omg. I can’t even. (I hate this phrase, but seriously?!!!)
Sometimes it’s just necessary! ;)
This looks delicious! Do you think blue cheese dressing would work in place of the ranch?
Definitely!
Very nice to see you at the Farmer’s Market Saturday the cookbook has some good to know tips in back, wish I had the 1st cookbook, I will try the deviled eggs with the bacon OH BAAAACON.
Good to see you too, Steve!
The art festival looks like it must have been so much fun! In my opinion, festivals like that are what makes the summer so much fun! There is nothing like being outdoors in the warm sun, especially after a long, snowy winter!
umm MIND BLOWN. So excited about this change up…I am a deviled egg kinda girl and cant wait to spring this on the fam at our next gathering! <3
