- Carefully rinse the egg whites and dry with a paper towel to remove any extraneous egg yolk bits.

- Pipe filling into egg whites. You can make these ahead up to this point and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Garnish with remaining fried garlic, Aleppo pepper, chives and a drizzle of olive oil.

Tried this recipe?Let us know how it was!
I made these for mother’s day as my whole family is obsessed with devilled eggs. So dang garlicky in the best way possible!! It was good 1 hr after making but was awesome 5 hours in the fridge later! The garlic played nicely with the lemon. I’m not a devilled eggs lover but I loved these – will definitely make again for our next bday celebration.
I’m so happy they were a hit!
