What’s in This Jalapeno Deviled Eggs Recipe?
Eggs: You’ll need a dozen large eggs for this recipe. I’ll show you my favorite way to hard-boil them in the recipe card. Bacon: Adds delicious umami flavor to these eggs. I recommend crumbling and cooking it ahead of time. Jalapenos: Add spice to these eggs. I like to add it to the filling and save a little for the topping so people know these eggs are spicy! Garlic: Enhances the savory flavor of the eggs. Mayonnaise: Makes the filling rich and creamy. Mustard: Dijon mustard adds a touch of tanginess to the filling. Smoked Paprika: Adds smokiness to the filling. Cheese: Use your favorite! I recommend Colby jack, pepper jack, or cheddar!
How to Store
Store leftover jalapeno deviled eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. I recommend serving them chilled straight from the fridge.
