Ingredients
  

6 large eggs

2 tablespoons mayonnaise

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon chili garlic sauce (adjust for desired spice level)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

¼ teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro, finely chopped (for garnish)

Sliced jalapeños (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Boil the Eggs: In a medium-sized pot, arrange the eggs in a single layer and cover them with cold water, ensuring there's about an inch of water above the eggs. Bring the water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the pot with a lid and promptly remove it from the heat. Let the eggs sit undisturbed for 12-14 minutes for hard-boiled eggs.

    Cool the Eggs: After the timer goes off, carefully transfer the eggs into a bowl filled with ice water, allowing them to cool for about 5-10 minutes. This chilling process helps to halt the cooking and makes peeling much easier.

      Prepare the Filling: Once the eggs are cool enough to handle, gently tap each egg on a hard surface to crack the shell, then peel them under running water to ensure any stubborn bits come off easily. Slice each egg in half lengthwise, and carefully scoop the yolks into a mixing bowl.

        Mix the Filling: To the bowl with the yolks, add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chili garlic sauce, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Using a fork or a hand mixer, blend the ingredients until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency. Don’t hesitate to taste the filling and adjust for seasoning or spice preference as needed.

          Fill the Egg Whites: Using either a spoon or a piping bag fitted with a large star tip for a decorative touch, carefully fill the cavity of each egg white half with the prepared yolk mixture, mounding it slightly for an appealing presentation.

            Garnish and Serve: Lightly sprinkle the tops of the filled eggs with finely chopped cilantro for freshness. For additional heat, garnish with a slice of jalapeño on each egg as desired.
