Ingredients

Party size

As written: 24 halves.

Kosher salt means Diamond Crystal. With Morton kosher salt, use about half.

Method

Bring an inch of water to a boil in a pot with a steamer basket. Add the eggs, cover, and steam 12 minutes.
Move the eggs to a bowl of ice water for 15 minutes.
Look forSteamed eggs peel far more easily than boiled ones.
Peel and halve the eggs. Pop the yolks into a bowl.
Mash the yolks with the mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, salt and chili crisp until smooth.
Look forNo lumps. A fork works; a food processor makes it silky.
Pipe or spoon the filling into the whites. Top each with a few crunchy bits of chili crisp and some scallion.

Make ahead

Steam and peel the eggs up to 2 days ahead. Make the filling a day ahead and keep it in a piping bag. Fill within 2 hours of serving.

Holding

Up to 2 hours at room temperature, or longer with the platter set over a tray of ice.

Allergens

Contains egg, soy (most chili crisp), mustard, sesame (some chili crisp). Always check labels on packaged ingredients.

Notes

Not tagged card-safe: chili oil finds fingers. Keep napkins close.

Check the chili crisp label: a few brands contain shrimp or fish.

Tavern Night

This dish's twist table (d6)

1–2	The classic stands. No twist. Cook it as written.
3	Herb swap. Swap scallion for chives or cilantro
4	Acid strike. A drop of black vinegar on each
5	Plating challenge. Serve the filling in a bowl with the whites alongside, build-your-own
6	Host's boon. The Host picks any twist above, or the table invents one. The safety rule still applies.

Roll before you start cooking. No twist ever changes a time, a temperature or how done something must be.
