Ingredients
Scale
Eggs
- 6 hard-boiled eggs
Filling
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon chile garlic sauce (such as Sambal Oelek)
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped cilantro, plus more for garnish
- Juice of half a lime
- Kosher salt, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Eggs: Cut each hard-boiled egg in half lengthwise and carefully remove the yolks, placing them into a medium bowl. Arrange the egg whites on a serving plate with the cut sides facing up, ready to be filled.
- Make the Filling: In the bowl with the egg yolks, add mayonnaise, chile garlic sauce, finely chopped cilantro, lime juice, and a pinch of kosher salt. Use a fork to mash and mix everything thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and creamy, without any large lumps of yolk. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt if needed.
- Fill the Egg Whites: Transfer the yolk mixture into a small zip-top bag. Seal the bag securely, then snip off one corner of the bag to create a piping tip. Pipe the yolk mixture evenly into the cavities of the egg whites.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle the deviled eggs with additional chopped cilantro for a fresh and colorful finish. Serve chilled or at room temperature and enjoy!
Notes
- Use fresh, high-quality eggs for the best taste and texture.
- Adjust the amount of chile garlic sauce to control the spice level according to your preference.
- For a smoother filling, you can use a food processor to blend the yolks with the other ingredients.
- Make ahead and refrigerate for up to one day; fill and garnish just before serving for best presentation.
- Substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a lighter version.
