   Prepare the Eggs

   Place the large eggs in a pot and cover them with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

   After 12 minutes, transfer the eggs to an ice bath (a bowl of ice and water) to cool for at least 5 minutes.

   Once cooled, gently crack and peel the eggs under running water to help remove the shells easily.

   Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg whites.

    Remove the fried eggs from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm with green chili aioli on the side.
