how to make deviled eggs with jalapenos

Start with peeled hard boiled eggs. Cut each one in half lengthwise. Scoop out the golden yellow yolk with a small spoon and place in a bowl. Using the back of the spoon, mash the yolks until there are no large pieces. The yolks should be like a paste.

Add the mayonnaise, mustard, a pinch of salt and pepper, the pickled jalapeno juice (this is what is used to packaged the pickled jalapenos). Stir to combine all the ingredients.

Spoon the egg mixture into a small resealable baggie and zip to close. Cut a small notch out of one of the bottom corners. This will make it SUPER EASY to fill the egg white halves. Evenly pipe the egg filling into the egg whites.

Top each deviled egg with a jalapeno slice. Sprinkle with smoked paprika and chopped fresh parsley. Store these delicious deviled eggs with jalapenos in the refrigerator in an air tight container.

chef tips for making deviled eggs with jalapenos

Make sure to chill the hard boiled eggs before preparing the recipe.
A sharp chef’s knife is best for slicing the eggs in half lengthwise. A dull knife will push down and smush the eggs.
Measure out your ingredients in advance. This makes prep of the deviled eggs a breeze. I love, love, love my set of stacking glass bowls for jobs like this. I use them for EVERYTHING! They are perfect for holding anything from tiny amounts of spices to big batch of mashed potatoes for cheesy stuffed potato skins.
Mash the egg yolks until they are very small pieces. This ensures a super creamy filling.
Use the pickled jalapeno juice from the jalapeno jar to add a bit of spiciness to the deviled eggs.
Use a small sandwich sized baggie for filling the egg white halves. Fold over the top of the bag so the seal doesn’t get messy. Put the deviled mixture into the bag and seal it. Use scissors to trim about a 1/4 to 1/2 inch off the corner of the baggie. Then just squeeze the filling into the egg white halves.
