Ingredients
Eggs
- 12 large eggs
Filling
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1 1/2 tablespoons chili garlic sauce (adjust to heat preference)
Garnish
- Smoked paprika, to taste
- Crispy fried onions, as needed
Instructions
- Boil the eggs: Place eggs in a pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat, cover, and let sit for 12 minutes to ensure perfectly hard-boiled eggs.
- Cool the eggs: Transfer the eggs to an ice bath for 5 minutes to stop the cooking process and make peeling easier.
- Peel and halve: Carefully peel the cooled eggs and slice each egg in half lengthwise to prepare for filling.
- Prepare the yolk mixture: Scoop the yolks into a bowl and mash them finely. Add mayonnaise and chili garlic sauce, then mix until the filling is creamy and well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Fill the egg whites: Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves for an attractive presentation.
- Garnish: Sprinkle the deviled eggs with smoked paprika for a smoky flavor and finish with crispy fried onions on top to add texture and an extra flavor punch.
Notes
- For extra depth of flavor, add 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard to the yolk filling.
- Use a piping bag to fill the eggs for a neat and professional appearance.
