Print Recipe

These deviled eggs combine smoky crisp bacon with a spicy kick from jalapeños, balanced by creamy yolks and tangy Dijon mustard. Ready in about 25 minutes, they make a perfect quick and crowd-pleasing appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large eggs, hard-boiled
  • 6–8 thick-cut bacon strips
  • 2 medium jalapeño peppers, finely diced
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt to taste
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped chives (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place 12 large eggs in a single layer in a medium pot and cover with cold water by about 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
  2. Remove eggs with a slotted spoon and plunge into ice water for 5 minutes to cool and stop cooking.
  3. While eggs cool, cook 6-8 thick-cut bacon strips in a skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain and cool, then finely crumble.
  4. Peel the cooled eggs and slice them in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the yolks into a mixing bowl.
  5. Mash yolks with a fork or potato masher until crumbly and smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
  6. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the mashed yolks. Mix well until creamy and consistent.
  7. Stir in the finely crumbled bacon and diced jalapeños. Mix until evenly distributed.
  8. Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves.
  9. Sprinkle finely chopped chives on top for garnish. Optionally dust with extra smoked paprika.
  10. Serve immediately or chill for up to 2 hours before serving.

Notes

Peel eggs under running water to remove shells easily. Reserve a teaspoon of bacon fat for extra flavor if desired. Adjust jalapeño heat by removing seeds or using fewer peppers. Use a piping bag for a neat presentation or a spoon for rustic style. Prepare filling ahead but add jalapeños just before filling eggs for freshness.
