Ingredients

Eggs

  • 12 large eggs

Filling

  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons chili garlic sauce (adjust to taste)

Garnish

  • Smoked paprika, for garnish
  • Crispy fried onions, for topping

Instructions

  1. Boil the eggs: Place the eggs in a large pot and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes to ensure hard boiling the eggs.
  2. Cool the eggs: Transfer the boiled eggs immediately to an ice bath to stop cooking and make peeling easier. Let them cool completely in the ice water.
  3. Peel and halve: Carefully peel the cooled eggs and cut them in half lengthwise using a sharp knife. Remove the yolks gently and place them in a mixing bowl.
  4. Prepare the filling: Mash the yolks thoroughly with mayonnaise and chili garlic sauce until you achieve a smooth, creamy texture. Taste the mixture and adjust the chili garlic sauce to your preferred spice level.
  5. Fill the egg whites: Spoon or use a piping bag to neatly fill each egg white half with the spicy yolk mixture for a professional presentation.
  6. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle smoked paprika over the filled eggs and top with crispy fried onions to add smoky flavor and crunch. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve for best texture.

Notes

  • Adjust the spice level by adding more or less chili garlic sauce to suit your taste.
  • Add a touch of honey to the filling for a sweet contrast to the spice.
  • Mix in chipotle mayo instead of regular mayonnaise for an extra smoky flavor.
  • Use older eggs for easier peeling after boiling.
  • Assemble just before serving to keep the crispy fried onions crunchy.
