Eggs
Filling
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt as a lighter alternative)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon chili garlic sauce
- 1 teaspoon sriracha (optional, for extra heat)
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Garnish
- Chopped fresh cilantro or green onions
- Boil the Eggs: Place 6 large eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pan, allowing the eggs to cook for 12 minutes to achieve perfectly hard-boiled eggs.
- Prepare an Ice Bath: While the eggs cook, fill a large bowl with ice water. This ice bath will stop the cooking process immediately and help make peeling easier.
- Cool the Eggs: Transfer the cooked eggs to the ice bath using a slotted spoon. Let them sit for about 5 minutes to cool completely, ensuring they’re easier to handle and peel.
- Peel the Eggs: Gently tap each cooled egg on a hard surface and roll it between your hands to crack the shell. Peel the shells off under cold running water for an easier removal process.
- Make the Filling: Slice the peeled eggs in half lengthwise and carefully scoop the yolks into a mixing bowl. Mash the yolks with a fork, then add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chili garlic sauce, rice vinegar, salt, and pepper. Mix the ingredients until creamy and thoroughly combined.
- Pipe the Filling: Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves to create a neat and attractive presentation. Using a piping bag is recommended for a more elegant look.
- Garnish and Serve: Drizzle sriracha over each deviled egg if desired, then sprinkle with chopped fresh cilantro or green onions. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh, bold flavors with a spicy kick.
Notes
- Substitute mayonnaise with avocado for a healthier, creamier texture.
- Adjust chili garlic sauce and sriracha quantities to control the heat level.
- Peeling eggs under running water reduces shell breakage and makes peeling easier.
- Use a piping bag with a star tip for aesthetically pleasing filling presentation.
- These deviled eggs are best served immediately but can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
