Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 slices cooked bacon (crumbled)
- ½ jalapeño (finely diced, plus extra slices for garnish)
- Paprika (for garnish)
Preparation Tips
- Use older eggs: They peel more easily after boiling.
- Adjust the heat level: Remove jalapeño seeds for milder spice or leave them in for extra heat.
- Crisp the bacon well: Crunchy bacon adds texture and smoky flavor to the creamy filling.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Boil and Peel the Eggs
Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then turn off the heat and let them sit, covered, for 10-12 minutes. Transfer eggs to an ice bath for 5 minutes before peeling.
Step 2: Prepare the Filling
Slice each egg in half lengthwise and remove the yolks. Place yolks in a bowl and mash with a fork. Stir in mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, vinegar, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Step 3: Add Jalapeño and Bacon
Fold in the crumbled bacon and diced jalapeño, reserving some for garnish.
Step 4: Fill the Egg Whites
Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves.
Step 5: Garnish and Serve
Top each deviled egg with a small slice of jalapeño, a sprinkle of bacon, and a dash of paprika for extra color and flavor.
