# Instructions:
01 -
Place 12 large eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then cover and remove from heat. Let sit for 10 minutes, then transfer to an ice bath for 5 minutes before peeling.
02 -
Slice each peeled egg in half lengthwise using a sharp knife. Carefully pop the yolks into a medium mixing bowl, keeping the whites intact and undamaged. Arrange the 24 egg white halves on a large serving platter or sheet pan and set aside.
03 -
To the bowl of yolks, add 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt, 3 tbsp mayonnaise, 2 tbsp chili garlic sauce, 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1 tsp sriracha, and 1 tsp apple cider vinegar. Mash everything together with a fork until mostly smooth before mixing in the remaining spices.
04 -
Add 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper, 4 cloves finely minced garlic, 1 tsp toasted sesame oil, 1 tbsp fresh lime juice, and 1/2 tsp onion powder to the yolk mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then whip until completely smooth and creamy.

For the best Spicy Chili Garlic Deviled Eggs High Protein Snack, taste the filling now and adjust the heat level. Add an extra 1/2 tsp sriracha for more fire, a splash more lime juice for brightness, or a pinch of salt to sharpen all the bold flavors before piping.
06 -
Transfer the filling into a piping bag fitted with a star tip, or use a zip-lock bag with one corner snipped off. Generously pipe the spicy chili garlic filling into each egg white half, creating a slightly domed, swirled mound that sits just above the rim of the egg.
07 -
Finish your Spicy Chili Garlic Deviled Eggs High Protein Snack by topping each egg with a sprinkle of 2 tbsp crispy fried shallots, 1 tbsp thinly sliced fresh chives, and 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes distributed evenly across all eggs. Finish with a delicate pinch of flaky sea salt on each.
08 -
For the most flavorful Spicy Chili Garlic Deviled Eggs High Protein Snack, refrigerate the finished eggs uncovered for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the filling to firm up and the flavors to meld together beautifully. Serve cold straight from the fridge for the best texture and taste.
# Notes:
01 -
Storage Tip: Store leftover Spicy Chili Garlic Deviled Eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For best results, store the filling and egg whites separately and pipe just before serving to prevent the whites from becoming rubbery.
02 -
Substitution Tip: Swap the mayonnaise entirely for additional Greek yogurt to boost the protein content even further and lighten the calorie load. You can also use sambal oelek in place of chili garlic sauce if that's what you have on hand — the flavor profile stays very similar.
03 -
Make-Ahead Tip: Hard-boil and peel the eggs up to 2 days in advance and store them submerged in cold water in the fridge. Prepare the filling separately and refrigerate in a sealed bag. This makes assembling your high-protein snack incredibly fast when guests arrive or meal prep day comes around.
04 -
Serving Tip: For a stunning party presentation, arrange the finished deviled eggs on a bed of shredded purple cabbage or microgreens to add color contrast. A light drizzle of extra chili garlic sauce over the entire platter right before serving adds a gorgeous glossy finish and signals the bold heat inside.
