02 - Transfer eggs to an ice bath and cool completely for about 5 minutes.
03 - Gently peel the eggs and slice in half lengthwise. Scoop yolks into a mixing bowl and set whites aside.
04 - Mash yolks with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until very smooth. If desired, mix in sriracha, rice vinegar, or a pinch of sugar for extra flavor.
05 - Transfer yolk mixture to a piping bag or use a spoon to fill each egg white half evenly.
06 - In a small bowl, combine chili crisp or chili garlic oil, toasted sesame seeds, soy sauce, optional minced garlic, and red pepper flakes. Stir well.
07 - Drizzle the spicy chili garlic topping over each deviled egg. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro or scallions. Serve immediately or chill until ready to serve.

# Helpful Tips:

01 -
  • The chili crisp topping adds this incredible crunch and heat that transforms deviled eggs from party standard to conversation starter
  • These come together in under 30 minutes but taste like something from a fancy restaurant
02 -
  • Don't make these too far ahead or the chili crisp will get soggy, assemble right before serving
  • The filling actually tastes better after sitting for 30 minutes so make it first and let the flavors meld
03 -
  • Room temperature eggs peel more easily than cold ones, so let them sit out for 20 minutes before boiling
  • If your chili crisp is too chunky, give it a quick chop so it distributes evenly over the eggs
