How to make it

1. Hard boil the eggs by placing them in a pot of cold water. Bring the water to a boil, then cover and remove from heat. Let sit for 12-15 minutes.
2. Once cooked, cool the eggs in ice water, then peel them.
3. Slice the eggs in half and remove the yolks.
4. In a bowl, mash the yolks with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chili garlic sauce, salt, and pepper until smooth.
5. Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg whites.
6. Garnish with fresh herbs and a sprinkle of paprika.
7. Serve immediately or chill until ready to serve.

How to serve it

These deviled eggs can be served right after preparation, or you can chill them in the refrigerator for a refreshing treat. They make a great addition to any party platter or can be enjoyed as a snack at home.

How to store it

Leftover deviled eggs should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can be kept for up to 2 days. If they start to look or smell off, it’s best to discard them.

Helpful tips

• Make sure to cool the hard-boiled eggs in ice water quickly to stop the cooking process and make peeling easier.
• For a more packed flavor, let the eggs chill in the refrigerator for a little while before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.

Optional variations

• If you prefer a milder flavor, you can reduce the amount of chili garlic sauce or substitute it with a sweet chili sauce.
• Try adding a pinch of cumin or smoked paprika for a unique flavor twist.
