Add the minced jalapeno pepper and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds, until you can smell the gorgeous garlic. Remove from heat. YES! For my spicy food loving friends, I’m making spicy deviled eggs and I think you’ll love them. They’re sort of a riff off of jalapeno poppers, so you can call them jalapeno popper deviled eggs or even bacon deviled eggs if you’d like. No matter what you want to call them, they’re amazing! Plus you can adjust the ingredients to your own spice level and taste. Let’s talk about how we make these bacon deviled eggs with jalapeno, shall we? Jalapeno Peppers. Finely mince at least one jalapeno pepper so it will evenly mix in your deviled egg mixture, and slice one pepper for garnishing the deviled eggs for serving. You can use other peppers if you’d like. As a variation, try roasting the jalapeno before mincing for a bit of a smoky flavor. Garlic. I’ve used 3 garlic cloves, minced just like the jalapenos. You can use garlic powder as an alternative. Eggs. 6 hard boiled eggs will give you 12 stuffed deviled eggs. You can easily double or even triple this recipe by simply multiplying the ingredients. Mayonnaise. Mayo is a staple in classic deviled eggs, and adds to the creaminess and overall flavor. Use a good quality mayo. I use 2 tablespoons. Mustard. Mustard is another staple in traditional deviled eggs, though not everyone uses it. My mother always did. I’m using spicy brown mustard to assist with the overall spicy quality, though you can use other mustard such as yellow mustard or Dijon mustard. Use your favorite. Sriracha. Let’s spice things up! I like to use some of my homemade sriracha, but use your favorite brand, or use a bit of your own favorite hot sauce. The recipe calls for 1 teaspoon, but you can easily add in more. Garnish. Be sure to reserve some of the cooked bacon to crumble over the top. Sliced jalapenos add a nice touch, as does a sprinkling of spicy chili flakes and/or extra cayenne pepper or paprika.
How to Make Spicy Deviled Eggs - the Recipe Method
Heat a large pan to medium heat and cook the bacon about 5 minutes, until it is nice and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels. Reserve a bit of the bacon grease in the pan and reserve enough cooked bacon to use for garnish. Slice the hard boiled eggs in half. Spoon the spicy deviled egg filling into the halved egg whites. You can also use a piping bag for more of a decorative presentation. Mash the mixture with a fork, then stir it up until it is nice and creamy. You can also use a hand mixer for this.
