Carefully peel your hard-boiled eggs. Slice each egg in half lengthwise and gently scoop out the yolks into a small bowl. Set the egg white halves aside.

Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, hot honey, salt, and pepper to the egg yolks. Mash everything with a fork until the mixture is very smooth and creamy.

Store these deviled eggs in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. The hot honey flavor tends to intensify over time.
