Recipe preparation

Essential Ingredients

  • Chili Garlic Sauce: Look for a quality brand that offers bold flavor without being overly hot.
  • Dijon Mustard: This adds tanginess; choose a smooth variety for easy mixing.
  • Salt and Pepper: Essential seasonings; adjust according to your taste preference.

Let’s Make it together

Boil the Eggs: Start by placing the eggs in a pot and covering them with cold water about an inch above the eggs. Bring it to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the pot and remove it from heat. Let them sit for 12 minutes.

Cool Down the Eggs: After 12 minutes have passed, transfer the eggs to an ice bath (a bowl filled with cold water and ice). Let them cool for about 5-10 minutes until they’re easy to handle.

Peel the Eggs: Gently tap each egg on a hard surface until cracks form all around. Roll them under your palm until peeled completely; rinse under cold water if needed.

Create the Filling: Slice each egg in half lengthwise. Scoop out the yolks into a mixing bowl and add mayonnaise, chili garlic sauce, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Fill the Egg Whites: Using either a spoon or piping bag (for extra flair), fill each egg white half generously with the spicy yolk mixture.

Add Finishing Touches: Sprinkle paprika over the filled eggs for color and flavor. Top with chopped green onions for added freshness and serve immediately or chill until ready to enjoy!

With each bite of these spicy chili garlic deviled eggs, you’re bound to experience bursts of flavor that awaken your palate while being delightfully creamy at heart! Perfect for sharing or hoarding all to yourself — no judgment here!
