The combination of bacon and jalapenos makes this variation a super hit with its combination of smoky and salty flavors with fresh heat and tanginess from both fresh and pickled jalapenos. It also has the characteristics of the classic recipe, which are creaminess from mayo, cheesiness from cheddar, and tangy and sharp tastes from Dijon mustard. Having both fresh and pickled jalapenos allows us to control the heat in this recipe. Fresh gives a burst of heat, while pickled ones are already mellowed in that aspect. For more heat, add more of the fresh ones and sprinkle with paprika on top to mark them for the more adventurous. That’s how you can play with this variation. You may change the amount of bacon as per your taste.
Boil eggs and remove the yolk: The first step is to get hard-boiled eggs, which is pretty easy to do. Add eggs to a pan and submerge them in cold water by an inch or so. Bring it to a boil on medium heat and lower the heat to a simmer. For hard-boiled eggs, we will let it simmer for 9–12 minutes. Slice the eggs into halves and scoop out the yolk from each half. Crumble yolk: Add the yolks to a bowl and crumble them with a fork, or you may use your hands too. Add the rest of the ingredients to the bowl. Mix well: Mix the ingredients well with a spatula to form a soft paste. Pipe the stuffing: Add the stuffing to a piping bag and cut the tail. Pipe the stuffing generously into each egg half. Garnish: the top of the stuffing with a few bacon bits and sliced fresh jalapenos.
It is advisable to store the yolk filling separately from the egg white halves. Fill them before you serve. You can store them in an airtight container or zip-lock bag in the refrigerator. For food safety, refrigerate any leftovers as soon as possible after serving.
Chips and salsa: Serve a Mexican-inspired starter course. The versatile deviled eggs go well with chips and salsa, too. Cheese platter: Deviled eggs offer a classic combination with a cheese platter consisting of varieties of cheese, crackers, and dips. You may have a look at my cracker recipes like Buttermilk crackers with cheesy tomato dip or dips like Creamy Homemade Hummus, French Onion Dip, or Chessy Corn Dip. Salad greens: A fresh and crisp salad will offer a contrast to the creamy deviled eggs. Try out simple salads or something a bit fruity like Cucumber Strawberry Salad, Cherry Tomato Salad, or any salad with a light vinaigrette like Apple Kale Salad With Apple Cider Vinaigrette or Easy and Zesty Quinoa Salad. With drinks: deviled eggs are a great snack, and any flavored drink or cola would be nice to have with them. For tea lovers, a flavored iced tea would beat the summer heat. These are wonderful to have with beers or cocktails, too.
