Bacon Jalapeno Deviled Eggs
Although I cannot take credit for coming up with this fabulous recipe creation of Bacon Jalapeno Deviled Eggs.
I am happy to be able to share it with you if you’ve never had them or heard of them.
I love bacon in just about everything, and what goes better with bacon than eggs?!
Add jalapeno for just a slight spicy kick and we have a winning side dish or appetizer for any gathering or picnic.
The worst part of making deviled eggs is the dreaded peeling of the hard boiled eggs.
After many attempts, I will share the way that works best for me. I like to peel them when they are still slightly warm.
You’ll still have your occasional shell that wants to be stubborn, and yes, some won’t look perfect.
But you’re serving them with bacon and jalapeno so no one will even notice đŸ™‚
How to Make Bacon Jalapeno Deviled Eggs
I start with placing the eggs gently in a large pan in a single layer.
Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low to simmer them for exactly 10 minutes.
Turn the burner off, but leave the eggs in the hot water for about 45 minutes.
Throw in a few ice cubes if the water is still kind of hot when you’re ready to peel them.
Tap each egg on the counter to break the shell slightly, then slide the shell off of each one.
Cut each in half and place the egg yolks in a bowl and the whites on a plate or deviled egg tray.
Into the bowl with the egg yolks add mayo (or light mayo), yellow mustard, kosher salt and pepper to taste.
I like to blend mine with a hand mixer for at least a minute.
Taste for seasoning and add more mayo, mustard, salt, or pepper if needed.
Add a minced jalapeno (with the seeds removed so they aren’t too spicy) and some cooked and crumbled bacon into the egg mixture and stir with a spoon (not the hand mixture).
I save some extras to sprinkle over top. It looks pretty, but it also lets people know what’s in them.
Use a spoon to place some of this delicious mixture into each egg white.
Sprinkle the extra jalapeno and bacon over top and you have a gorgeous and delicious side or appetizer.
