Ingredients
Units
Scale
Deviled Eggs:
- 8 eggs
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons chili garlic sauce
- 2 green onions, sliced (green parts only)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Hot Chili Oil:
- 1/3 cup avocado oil
- 1 shallot, finely diced
- 3 cloves garlic, grated
- 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
- 3 tablespoons gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon monk fruit sweetener
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
Optional Toppings:
- Bacon bits
- Extra sliced green onion
Instructions
- Boil Eggs: Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then cover and remove from heat. Let sit for 10 minutes. Drain and cool under cold water, then peel.
- Make Chili Oil: Heat avocado oil in a pot over medium heat until it ripples. In a heat-safe (non-glass) bowl, add shallot, garlic, red pepper flakes, gochugaru, salt, monk fruit sweetener, and ginger. Carefully pour hot oil over the mixture— it will sizzle. Stir to combine and set aside.
- Prep Eggs: Slice a thin piece off the top and bottom of each egg so they stand flat. Cut eggs in half horizontally and gently squeeze out the yolks.
- Make Filling: In a bowl, mix yolks, trimmed whites, mayo, chili garlic sauce, green onions, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Assemble: Pipe or spoon filling back into the eggs. Drizzle with hot chili oil and top with bacon bits and green onions if desired.
- Serve: Enjoy immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
- Use a spoon to help gently remove yolks without damaging the whites.
- Gochugaru adds a mild smoky heat; sub with extra red chili flakes if needed.
- For less heat, reduce the chili garlic sauce or skip red pepper flakes.
