Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Boil the Eggs

1. Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water (about 1 inch above eggs).
2. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then cover and remove from heat. Let sit for 10-12 minutes.
3. Transfer eggs to an ice bath to stop the cooking. Let cool completely before peeling.

Step 2: Prepare the Filling
4. Peel the eggs and slice them in half lengthwise.
5. Gently remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl.
6. Mash yolks with a fork until smooth.
7. Add mayonnaise, chili garlic sauce, Dijon mustard, vinegar, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until creamy and well combined.

Step 3: Fill the Egg Whites
8. Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves.
9. Use a piping bag with a star tip for a fancier presentation, or a small spoon for a rustic look.

Step 4: Garnish and Serve
10. Lightly sprinkle each egg with smoked paprika or chili powder.
11. Top with sliced green onions or chives.
12. Add a tiny drizzle of chili garlic sauce if you like extra heat.
13. Arrange on a platter and serve chilled or at room temperature.

Tips for Perfect Deviled Eggs
Use Older Eggs – They’re easier to peel after boiling.
Don’t Overcook – Overcooked yolks can turn greenish and dry.
Mash Thoroughly – For the smoothest filling, mash yolks until no lumps remain.
Chill Before Serving – Chilled deviled eggs hold their shape and taste even better.
Double the Batch – These disappear fast at parties, so consider making extras.

Serving Suggestions
Appetizer Platter – Add olives, cheese, and crackers for a complete snack board.
Brunch Table – A spicy addition to traditional brunch fare.
Picnics & Potlucks – Easy to transport and always a hit.
Game Day Snack – Serve alongside wings, sliders, or chips and dip.

How to Store & Make Ahead

Storing:

• Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.

Make Ahead:

• Boil and peel eggs a day ahead and refrigerate.
• Make the filling and store separately, then assemble before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions
