Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

Eggs: Use large eggs for even cooking; they’re easier to peel when hard boiled.
Mayonnaise: I prefer rich, creamy mayonnaise for that luxurious texture in the filling.
Chili Paste: Look for a high-quality chili paste for that perfect kick without overwhelming heat.
Garlic Powder: Fresh is great, but garlic powder adds a subtle background flavor that’s hard to beat.
Paprika: Use smoked paprika if you love a hint of smokiness that complements the spices beautifully.
Salt and Pepper: Essential seasonings that bring all those lovely flavors together perfectly.

Let’s Make it Together

Boil the Eggs: Place your eggs in a saucepan and cover them with water. Bring it to a boil over medium heat before removing from heat and covering for 12 minutes.

Cool the Eggs: Transfer cooked eggs into an ice bath immediately after boiling. This helps stop cooking and makes peeling easier.

Peel and Slice: Once cooled, crack each egg gently on the counter and peel under running water. Slice them in half lengthwise with precision.

Prepare the Filling: Scoop out yolks into a bowl and mash them until crumbled. Mix in mayonnaise, chili paste, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until creamy.

Pipe or Spoon Mixture: Use a piping bag or spoon to fill egg whites generously with the spicy mixture. Create swirls if you feel fancy.

Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle paprika over your masterpieces before serving. Consider adding chopped green onions or cilantro for extra flair!

Now you’ve got yourself some stunning Spicy Chili Garlic Deviled Eggs that will have everyone asking for seconds!
