Ingredients
  

6 large eggs

3 tablespoons creamy mayonnaise

1 teaspoon tangy Dijon mustard

1 clove of garlic, minced to a paste

1 teaspoon chili paste or Sriracha (increase or decrease to match your spice tolerance)

Salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste

1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, finely chopped (for garnish)

1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Start by placing the eggs in a medium-sized saucepan. Add enough cold water to cover them by about an inch.

    Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the water to a vigorous boil. Once boiling, cover the pan with a lid, remove it from heat, and let the eggs sit undisturbed for exactly 12 minutes.

      While waiting for the eggs, prepare a large bowl filled with ice water. This will help cool the eggs and stop the cooking process once they are done.

        After 12 minutes have passed, transfer the eggs directly into the ice water, allowing them to chill for about 5 minutes.

          When cooled, gently tap each egg on a hard surface to crack the shell, then peel the eggs under a thin stream of cold running water. This technique helps facilitate easy peeling.

            Once peeled, slice each egg in half lengthwise. Carefully retrieve the yolks and put them into a mixing bowl, discarding the empty whites or setting aside for stuffing later.

              To the bowl with the egg yolks, add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, chili paste or Sriracha, along with a pinch of salt and a dash of pepper. Whisk the mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy.

                Using a piping bag or a simple spoon, fill each egg white half generously with the spicy yolk mixture.

                  Finish by garnishing each deviled egg with freshly chopped cilantro and a subtle sprinkle of smoked paprika for an extra touch of flavor and visual appeal.
