How to Make Spicy Deviled Eggs: Step-by-Step

Making these Spicy Chili Garlic Deviled Eggs is super simple and worth the flavor payoff. With just a few easy steps, you’ll turn classic deviled eggs into something bold and unforgettable. Each part of the process builds rich, creamy texture and layers of spicy flavor.

Step 1: Boil the Eggs

A pot of eggs covered with water beginning to boil on the stove.

Place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover them with cold water by about an inch. Set the pot over medium-high heat and bring the water to a boil. As soon as it hits a rolling boil, reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let the eggs cook gently for 12 minutes

Step 2: Cool the Eggs

Hard-boiled eggs being placed in an ice bath to cool.

While the eggs are cooking, fill a large bowl with ice water. This will be your ice bath, which helps cool the eggs quickly. After 12 minutes of cooking, carefully transfer the eggs into the ice bath. Let them sit in the icy water for at least 5 minutes.

Step 3: Peel the Eggs

Hands cracking and peeling a hard-boiled egg under running water.

Tap each egg gently on the countertop to crack the shell all over. Roll it slightly to loosen the shell. Hold it under running cold water to help lift the shell away easily. The water gets between the egg and the shell, making peeling smoother.

Step 4: Slice and Scoop

Hands cracking and peeling a hard-boiled egg under running water.

Carefully cut each egg in half lengthwise using a sharp knife. Gently pop out the yolks and place them into a medium bowl. Set the empty egg white halves on a tray or plate. Try not to tear the whites, they’ll hold your filling later.

Step 5: Make the Spicy Filling

Mash the egg yolks with a fork until they’re crumbly and soft. Add mayonnaise (or avocado), mustard, chili garlic sauce, rice vinegar, and optional sriracha. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix everything until smooth, creamy, and well blended.

Step 6: Fill the Eggs

Spoon the spicy yolk mixture into each egg white half evenly. For a cleaner look, you can also pipe the filling using a plastic bag with the corner snipped. Make sure every egg gets a generous amount of filling. Smooth or swirl the tops with a spoon for presentation.

Step 7: Add Final Touches

Spicy deviled eggs garnished with fresh herbs, paprika, and chili oil ready to serve.

Sprinkle chopped cilantro or green onions over the tops for color and freshness. If you like extra spice, a tiny dot of sriracha on top looks and tastes great. For a bit of crunch, add crispy shallots or a dusting of smoked paprika. You can also chill the eggs for 10–15 minutes before serving.

Pro Tips
