Chili Eggs Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9 inch pie plate.
• Whisk the eggs in a large bowl. Stir in the milk and flour, then mix in the green chilies and cheese. Pour into the prepared pie plate.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the center is set, about 35 minutes.

Steps:

• For the deviled eggs: Put the eggs in a large saucepan and cover with water. Heat over high heat until the water begins to boil. Boil for 1 minute, cover with a lid and remove from the heat. Allow to sit for 17 minutes, then drain and transfer to an ice bath.
• When the eggs are cooled, peel and slice in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks to a medium bowl and mash with a fork until crushed. Stir in the mayonnaise, sour cream, mustard, relish, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, salt and pepper and mash well. Spoon or pipe the filling (using a piping bag or resealable plastic bag) into each egg white half.
• For the topping: Top the deviled eggs with the crushed corn chips and Cheddar. Sprinkle with the chili powder and parsley.

Steps:

• Make the chile oil (or skip to Step 4 if using store-bought chile oil): Add red-pepper flakes to a heatproof container that can balance a fine-mesh sieve and comfortably hold at least 1 cup oil. (A 12- or 16-ounce Mason jar works well.) Set aside. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, toast cinnamon stick, star anise, cardamom (if using), fennel seeds and peppercorns, gently shaking the pan, until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Add oil, garlic and ginger (if using), reduce the heat to low and allow the oil to come to a gentle simmer. Cook until the garlic is deeply golden brown and the ginger is tender, about 20 minutes. (The longer and more gently it cooks, the more flavorful the oil will be.)
• Carefully pour hot oil through sieve directly onto the red-pepper flakes, which will sizzle and fry in the hot oil. Discard strained spices. (You should have a little more than 1 cup oil.) Allow mixture to cool at least 1 hour or, for the best flavor, make it the night before.
• As chile oil simmers, prepare the seed mix: Heat oven to 425 degrees. On a rimmed sheet pan, lay out sesame seeds and pepitas in a single layer, transfer to the oven and toast until golden and fragrant, about 6 minutes. Let cool slightly, then mix in peanuts and garlic flakes. Set aside.
• Prepare the sautéed kale: In a large skillet over medium heat, warm oil until it shimmers. Add kale to the skillet, a couple of handfuls at a time, stirring to combine and adding more kale to the skillet as it wilts and space permits. (Kale will release liquid, but if you think it needs more oil, add it to the pan.) When the last batch has been added, season generously with salt. Add vinegar and about 1/2 tablespoon red-pepper flakes scooped from the chile oil, and stir to incorporate. You want some wilted bits and some crunchier drier bits. Set over low heat as you fry your eggs.
• Prepare the eggs: In another large nonstick skillet over medium-high, heat 1 tablespoon neutral oil. Working in batches, cook 1 to 2 eggs per person, adding oil as needed, until the yolk is a desired consistency, 2 to 3 minutes for sunny-side up.
• Plate the dish: Dollop about 1/4 cup yogurt onto the center of each plate, spread it in a circle, leaving space around the edge of the plate for the seeded oil and a divot in the middle for the greens. Spoon 3 to 4 tablespoons chile oil around the edge of the yogurt, and sprinkle seed mix over the oil. Divide warm greens on top of yogurt, and top with eggs. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the chili crisp to the skillet and swirl until it is all hot and coating the skillet.
• Working with one egg at a time, crack the eggs into a small bowl and then into the skillet. Season the eggs with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste. Cook the eggs sunny-side up until the whites are fully cooked but the yolks are still runny, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Add the remaining 2 tablespoons chili crisp to a large bowl. Whisk in the rice vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add the rice and baby kale and toss until everything is coated. Divide among 4 bowls. Top each rice bowl with a fried egg and sprinkle with chives. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Make the chili oil: Add the shallot, garlic, Sichuan peppercorns, bay leaves, cinnamon sticks, and peanut oil to a small saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat until the temperature reaches 215-225°F (101-107°C). Simmer for 30 minutes, until the aromatics are golden brown, but not burnt. The oil should be gently simmering, with tiny bubbles rising to the surface. If the oil gets too hot or the aromatics start to brown too quickly, reduce the heat to low.
• Add the Sichuan red chili flakes and Chinese five-spice powder to a medium, heatproof bowl. Place a fine-mesh strainer over the bowl. Carefully pour the hot oil through the strainer over the chili flakes and discard the aromatics left behind. Stir in the salt until dissolved. Let the chili oil cool completely before transferring to an airtight container. The chili oil will keep in the refrigerator for up to 6 months.
• Make the egg skillet: In a 10-inch cast iron skillet, heat 4 tablespoons of chili oil over medium heat until sizzling. Crack the eggs into the skillet and season with kosher salt. Cook for 2-3 minutes, depending on your preferred yolk doneness. Carefully tilt the skillet to distribute the chili oil around the eggs and use a spoon to baste the eggs with the oil.
• Remove the skillet from heat and top the eggs with the dill, scallions, and flaky sea salt. Serve with toasted bread.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• In a large (preferably cast-iron) skillet, melt the butter over medium-high. Add the onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin and chili powder, stir to combine, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring occasionally, until it begins to stick to the bottom of the pan and turns the color of rust, about 2 minutes.
• Stir in the tomatoes and both cans of beans with their liquid. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, smashing the beans lightly and stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 20 minutes. Stir in the vinegar, then season to taste with salt.
• Reduce the heat to low. If your chili is thick enough, make four divots evenly spaced in the chili and crack an egg into each divot. (If the chili is not thick enough to hold the divots, don't worry, just crack the eggs on top.) Using a fork or spoon, gently cover the whites with chili. (This helps the whites cook faster and more evenly). Season the eggs with salt and pepper, then sprinkle the chili with Cheddar. Cover and cook until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny, 5 to 7 minutes. Garnish, if desired, with cilantro sprigs. Serve with tortillas, tortilla chips or tostadas alongside.
