Let’s Make it together
Boil the Eggs: Start by placing six large eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce heat and let simmer for about 10 minutes; this ensures perfect hard-boiled yolks.
Prepare the Filling: After cooling the eggs in an ice bath for a few minutes, peel them carefully under running water. Cut each egg in half lengthwise and scoop out the yolks into a bowl.
Add Flavorful Ingredients: To the bowl with yolks, add mayonnaise, chili paste, garlic powder, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Mash everything together until smooth and creamy; trust me, it’s worth it!
Fill the Egg Whites: Spoon or pipe the spicy mixture back into each egg white half using a piping bag or zip-top bag with one corner snipped off. Keep it neat or go wild—either way is delicious!
Garnish & Serve!: Sprinkle freshly chopped cilantro on top for garnish before serving these beauties on your favorite platter. Watch them disappear like magic!
