Ingredients
Scale
For the Eggs:
- 6 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
For the Spicy Chili Garlic Topping:
- 2 tablespoons chili crisp or chili garlic oil
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
- 1 garlic clove, minced (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce or tamari
- Fresh cilantro or scallions, finely chopped
- Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
Optional Add-ins:
- 1/2 teaspoon sriracha or hot sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon rice vinegar or lemon juice
- Pinch of sugar
Instructions
- Boil the Eggs: Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, remove the pan from the heat, cover it with a lid, and let the eggs sit for 10-12 minutes to cook through. Afterwards, transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool completely, which makes peeling easier.
- Peel and Halve: Carefully peel the cooled eggs and slice them lengthwise in half. Gently scoop out the yolks and place them into a mixing bowl, being careful to keep the egg whites intact for filling.
- Make the Filling: Mash the egg yolks thoroughly using a fork. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper, mixing until the filling is smooth and creamy. For added tang and heat, optionally stir in rice vinegar or lemon juice and sriracha or hot sauce.
- Pipe or Spoon Filling: Transfer the yolk mixture into a piping bag for neat filling or use a spoon. Fill each egg white half generously with the yolk mixture, smoothing as needed.
- Prepare Topping: In a small bowl, combine chili crisp or chili garlic oil with toasted sesame seeds, minced garlic (if using), soy sauce, and a pinch of red pepper flakes if desired. Adjust with a pinch of sugar for balanced sweetness if needed.
- Garnish and Serve: Drizzle the spicy chili garlic topping evenly over the filled deviled eggs. Garnish with finely chopped fresh cilantro or scallions for a fresh, aromatic finish. Serve immediately or chill until ready to enjoy.
Notes
- Use an ice bath immediately after boiling to make peeling eggs easier and prevent overcooking.
- Adjust the level of heat by varying the amount of chili crisp or adding extra red pepper flakes.
- You can prepare the filling and topping ahead of time and assemble just before serving for best texture.
- If soy sauce is a concern, tamari is a gluten-free alternative.
- For a milder version, omit the chili crisp and red pepper flakes.
