Description
Think your grandma’s deviled eggs, but kicked up with chili garlic sauce, a little tang, a little fire, and a whole lot of flavor. These Spicy Chili Garlic Deviled Eggs are the ultimate appetizer remix—creamy, zippy, and just spicy enough to make you do a double take. They’re devilishly good (sorry, we had to), and they disappear fast at any party.
Ingredients
– 6 large eggs
– 3 tbsp mayo (or Greek yogurt if you’re feeling virtuous)
– 1–1½ tsp chili garlic sauce (Sambal Oelek works great)
– 1 tsp Dijon mustard
– ½ tsp rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
– Salt & black pepper to taste
– Optional: pinch of smoked paprika or chili flakes for garnish
– Optional toppings: crispy fried onions, scallions, sesame seeds, or a tiny drizzle of chili oil
Instructions
Step 1: Boil the eggs
Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then cover, turn off the heat, and let sit for 10–12 minutes. Transfer to an ice bath and chill for 5 minutes before peeling.
Step 2: Make the filling
Cut the peeled eggs in half lengthwise. Scoop out the yolks into a small bowl. Mash them with mayo, chili garlic sauce, mustard, and vinegar until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Want more heat? Add a little extra chili garlic sauce. You’re the boss.
Step 3: Fill ‘em up
Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg whites. Piping makes them look fancy, but no judgment if you just spoon and swirl.
Step 4: Garnish like a pro
Sprinkle with smoked paprika or chili flakes. Add crispy fried onions, chopped green onions, or sesame seeds if you’re feeling snazzy. A tiny drop of chili oil on each one = extra drama (and flavor).
Notes
– Serve on a platter of cucumber slices or lettuce for extra crunch
– Pair with a cold beer or bubbly to balance the heat
– Great for Easter brunch, football Sundays, or when you just want to impress people with very little effort
