Ingredients
Gather These Items

- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon chili garlic sauce

Best Ways to Enjoy It
These Spicy Chili Garlic Deviled Eggs shine on their own but can be paired wonderfully with a crisp salad or some baked tortilla chips for a festive touch. For a twist, serve them alongside a spicy salsa or quesadillas for a complete spread that delights and satisfies.
How to Store
To keep your deviled eggs fresh, store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They’ll stay perfect for about 2-3 days. If you need to freeze any, it’s best to save just the filling (without the egg whites) in an airtight container. Just make sure to thaw in the fridge before reassembling!
Helpful Cooking Tips
- For a smoother filling, use a food processor to blend the yolk mixture instead of mashing by hand.
- To make these even more flavorful, consider adding a splash of lemon juice or a pinch of cayenne pepper for an additional kick.
- If you’re short on time, have pre-boiled eggs on hand for a quick assembly!
Recipe Variations
Feel free to get creative with your deviled eggs! Swap out the chili garlic sauce for a tangy buffalo sauce for a different flavor profile. You could also try adding avocado for creaminess or crispy bacon bits for added texture.
