Description

This jalapeño bacon Cheddar deviled eggs recipe is a spin on an old classic — the combination of Cheddar, bacon, and jalapeño makes everything better.

Ingredients

12 eggs
4 slices bacon
3 jalapeno peppers
1 cup finely shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/4 red onion, minced
2 tablespoons spicy brown mustard
1 pinch paprika, or as desired

Directions

1 Place eggs in a saucepan; cover with water. Bring to a boil, remove from heat, and let eggs stand in water for 15 minutes. Remove eggs from water, cool under cold running water, and peel.
2 Place bacon in a large skillet; cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels; crumble when cool.
3 Remove seeds and stems from jalapeños; mince 1 pepper and slice remaining 2 peppers into 24 very thin strips; set aside.
4 Cut eggs in half lengthwise; place yolks in a bowl. Mash with a fork; stir in minced jalapeño, Cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, red onion, and mustard.
5 Place egg whites, cut side up, on a serving platter. Spoon yolk mixture into egg white halves; insert pepper strip into each yolk; sprinkle with crumbled bacon and paprika.
