Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon pickled jalapeno, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Pickled jalapeno slices for garnish
Instructions
- Place eggs in a medium saucepan and cover completely with cold water, ensuring water level is about 1 inch above the eggs.
- Bring water to a rolling boil over high heat, then immediately remove pan from heat, cover with a tight-fitting lid, and let eggs sit in hot water for 10-12 minutes for perfect hard-boiled eggs.
- Prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with cold water and ice cubes. Once eggs are done, immediately transfer them to the ice bath to stop the cooking process and prevent green rings around the yolks.
- Carefully peel the eggs under cool running water, which helps remove the shells more easily. Pat eggs dry with paper towels.
- Cut each egg in half lengthwise using a sharp knife. Gently remove the yolks and place them in a separate mixing bowl.
- Mash the egg yolks with a fork until they are completely crumbly and smooth.
- Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, minced pickled jalapeno, salt, and pepper to the mashed yolks. Mix thoroughly until the filling is creamy and well combined.
- Using a piping bag or a spoon, carefully fill each egg white half with the jalapeno yolk mixture, creating a slightly mounded appearance.
- Garnish each deviled egg with a small slice of pickled jalapeno on top for added flavor and visual appeal.
- Refrigerate the deviled eggs for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld and filling to set.
- Serve chilled and enjoy your spicy Pickled Jalapeno Deviled Eggs!
Tips
- Use eggs that are a few days old, as they peel more easily than fresh eggs.
- For the smoothest filling, press the egg yolks through a fine-mesh sieve before mixing with other ingredients.
- If you want extra heat, add a dash of hot sauce to the yolk mixture.
- Use a piping bag with a star tip for a professional, elegant look when filling the egg whites.
- For best flavor, let the deviled eggs chill for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
- Choose high-quality pickled jalapenos for the most vibrant flavor and texture.
- If you're sensitive to spice, remove the seeds from the jalapenos to reduce heat while maintaining flavor.
