# What You’ll Need:

→ Eggs & Filling

01 - 6 large eggs
02 - 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
03 - 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
04 - Salt, to taste
05 - Black pepper, to taste
06 - 1/2 teaspoon sriracha or hot sauce (optional)
07 - 1/4 teaspoon rice vinegar or lemon juice (optional)
08 - Pinch of sugar (optional)

→ Spicy Chili Garlic Topping

09 - 2 tablespoons chili crisp or chili garlic oil
10 - 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
11 - 1 garlic clove, minced (optional)
12 - 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce or tamari
13 - Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

→ Garnish

14 - Fresh cilantro or scallions, finely chopped

# Directions:

01 - Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, remove from heat, cover, and let stand for 10-12 minutes.
02 - Transfer eggs to an ice bath and cool completely for approximately 5 minutes to stop the cooking process and facilitate peeling.
03 - Gently peel the cooled eggs and slice in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop yolks into a mixing bowl and set egg whites aside on a serving platter.
04 - Mash yolks thoroughly with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until completely smooth. Optionally incorporate sriracha, rice vinegar, or sugar for enhanced flavor depth.
05 - Transfer yolk mixture to a piping bag fitted with a star tip, or use a small spoon to evenly fill each egg white half with the creamy mixture.
06 - In a small bowl, whisk together chili crisp, toasted sesame seeds, soy sauce, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes until well combined.
07 - Generously drizzle the spicy chili garlic topping over each filled egg half. Sprinkle with freshly chopped cilantro or scallions. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • That moment when the crispy garlic crunch hits the silky smooth filling is absolute magic
  • People will actually remember these appetizers instead of passing them by like all the other party food
02 -
  • Never ever make these more than a few hours ahead because that beautiful crispy garlic topping will get sad and soggy
  • The filling tastes honestly better after it sits in the fridge for an hour, so mix it up early and just assemble right before guests arrive
03 -
  • Use a zip top bag instead of a piping bag—just snip off one corner and you have an instant piping tool that you can throw away afterward
  • Wipe your knife between cutting each egg so you do not get yolk smears all over those pristine white halves
