Ingredients
Scale
Eggs
- 6 large eggs, boiled, peeled, and halved
Filling
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon sour cream (optional)
- 1 fresh jalapeño, finely diced (remove seeds for less heat)
- 1/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons cooked, crumbled bacon
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Garnish
- Smoked paprika, for garnish
- Extra bacon bits (optional)
Instructions
- Boil the Eggs: Place eggs in a pot, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, cover the pot, turn off the heat, and let the eggs sit for 10-12 minutes. Then transfer them to ice water to cool before peeling.
- Prepare the Filling: Halve the cooled eggs and remove the yolks. In a bowl, mash the yolks with mayonnaise, cream cheese, and sour cream until smooth. Stir in the finely diced jalapeños, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and Dijon mustard. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
- Fill the Egg Whites: Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture evenly back into the hollowed egg white halves for a neat finish.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle the deviled eggs with smoked paprika and extra bacon bits if desired. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
- For more heat, leave the seeds in the jalapeños or add a splash of hot sauce to the filling.
- Make ahead by preparing the filling separately and pipetting it just before serving for best texture.
- Adjust the amount of cream cheese to make the filling creamier or firmer based on your preference.
