Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs

  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise

  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar (or lemon juice)

  • 1 tablespoon chili garlic sauce (adjust to taste)

  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika

  • 1 teaspoon chili flakes (optional, for extra spice)

  • 1-2 teaspoons sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

1. Cook the eggs:

  • Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover them with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once the water reaches a boil, reduce the heat and let the eggs simmer for 10-12 minutes.

  • Remove the eggs from the pot and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to cool for about 5 minutes. Once cooled, peel the eggs and slice them in half lengthwise.

2. Prepare the filling:

  • Carefully remove the yolks from the egg whites and place them in a medium bowl. Mash the yolks with a fork until smooth.

  • Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, vinegar, chili garlic sauce, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to the mashed yolks. Stir everything together until the mixture is creamy and well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary, adding more chili garlic sauce for extra heat if desired.

3. Fill the egg whites:

  • Spoon the creamy yolk mixture into the hollowed-out egg whites. You can use a spoon, or for a more elegant presentation, pipe the filling using a piping bag or a zip-top bag with the tip cut off.

4. Garnish and serve:

  • Sprinkle the deviled eggs with chopped cilantro or parsley, chili flakes (for extra heat), and sesame seeds (for a slight crunch and added flavor).

  • Serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Servings and Timing

  • Servings: 6-8 deviled eggs (3-4 servings)

  • Prep Time: 15 minutes

  • Cook Time: 10-12 minutes (for boiling the eggs)

  • Total Time: 25 minutes

Variations

  • Sriracha Version: Swap the chili garlic sauce for sriracha for a different type of heat and flavor.

  • Avocado Deviled Eggs: Add mashed avocado to the yolk mixture for a creamy twist and a mild flavor.

  • Smoky Paprika: For a deeper smoky flavor, add smoked paprika to both the filling and as a garnish.

Storage/Reheating

Deviled eggs are best enjoyed fresh, but they can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Be sure to place a layer of plastic wrap directly on top of the eggs before covering to prevent them from drying out. These eggs should not be frozen, as the texture of the egg whites and filling may change.

FAQs

Can I make these deviled eggs ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the filling and the egg whites ahead of time. Keep them separated and store them in the refrigerator until you’re ready to assemble the deviled eggs. They can be assembled up to 4 hours in advance for convenience.

Can I use a different type of chili sauce?

Yes! You can experiment with different chili sauces, like sambal oelek or harissa, to create a different flavor profile. Just adjust the amount to your preferred spice level.

Can I make these deviled eggs less spicy?

If you prefer a milder version, reduce the amount of chili garlic sauce or use a milder chili sauce. You can also add a bit more mayonnaise to mellow out the heat.

How do I make deviled eggs with a smoother filling?

If you’d like a smoother filling, you can blend the egg yolks and mayonnaise mixture using an immersion blender or food processor. This will create a creamy, velvety texture.

Can I add cheese to the filling?

Yes, you can mix in some grated cheese like cheddar or Parmesan for added richness and flavor. Stir the cheese into the filling mixture before piping or spooning it into the egg whites.

Spicy Chili Garlic Deviled Eggs are a bold and flavorful twist on a classic favorite.
