Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Spicy Chili Garlic Deviled Eggs

Step 1: Boil the Eggs
Begin by placing your large eggs in a pot, then cover them with cold water, ensuring they’re submerged. Bring the water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer and let them cook for 12 minutes. After cooking, transfer the eggs to an ice bath for about 5 minutes until completely cooled, making peeling easier.

Step 2: Prepare the Filling
Once cooled, gently tap the eggs against a solid surface to crack the shells, then peel them under cool running water for easier removal. Slice each egg in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out the yolks into a mixing bowl. Add mayo, Dijon mustard, and chili garlic oil to the yolks, then mash and mix using a fork until the filling is smooth and creamy, achieving that vibrant taste for your Spicy Chili Garlic Deviled Eggs.

Step 3: Fill the Egg Whites
Using either a piping bag or a simple spoon, carefully fill each hollowed egg white half with the flavorful yolk mixture. For a touch of elegance, twist the piping bag to create a swirl or just mound the filling attractively. Ensure each egg is generously filled, as this showcases the zesty blend waiting inside, making your Spicy Chili Garlic Deviled Eggs visually enticing.

Step 4: Garnish for Flair
To elevate your Spicy Chili Garlic Deviled Eggs, drizzle a bit of extra chili garlic oil on top of the filled eggs for an inviting shine and bold flavor. Next, sprinkle sesame seeds over the oil for added crunch and texture. If desired, finish with a few sprigs of fresh herbs like chives or cilantro to enhance flavor and visual appeal, making them perfect for presentation at your next gathering.

Step 5: Serve or Store
Your Spicy Chili Garlic Deviled Eggs are now ready to impress! Serve them fresh at room temperature for the best experience or refrigerate for up to two days if you’re making them ahead of time. If storing, place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the filling to maintain creaminess. These deviled eggs are delightful as party appetizers or a standout addition to brunch festivities.
