Ingredients
For the Eggs:
- 12 large eggs hard-boiled and peeled
- ½ cup mayonnaise preferably full-fat
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1½ tablespoons chili garlic sauce adjust to taste
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Optional Garnishes:
- Crispy chili oil or chili crisp
- Finely chopped chives or scallions
- Crushed red pepper flakes
- Toasted sesame seeds
- Fried shallots or garlic chips
- Microgreens
Instructions
Hard-Boil the Eggs:
- Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, turn off heat, cover, and let sit for 10–12 minutes. Transfer eggs to an ice bath for 5–10 minutes before peeling.
Prepare the Yolk Mixture:
- Cut eggs in half lengthwise and scoop yolks into a bowl. Mash yolks until crumbly.
Mix the Filling:
- Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chili garlic sauce, rice vinegar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy. For ultra-smooth filling, use a food processor or immersion blender.
Fill the Egg Whites:
- Transfer the filling to a piping bag or zip-top bag with the corner snipped. Pipe into the egg white halves. Alternatively, spoon the mixture neatly into each cavity.
Garnish and Serve:
- Top with your favorite garnishes—crispy chili oil, chopped chives, or sesame seeds. Chill for 30 minutes before serving for best flavor.
Notes
- Spice Level Control: Use less chili garlic sauce for milder eggs, or stir in more for extra kick.
- Make Ahead: Boiled eggs and filling can be prepped 1–2 days in advance. Assemble just before serving.
- Storage: Store assembled deviled eggs in an airtight container for up to 2 days in the refrigerator.
- Variations: Try avocado instead of some mayo for a healthier twist, or add crispy bacon for extra savory richness.
- Texture Tip: Use room temperature ingredients for the smoothest filling.
