These Jalapeño Popper Deviled Eggs are a spicy twist on the classic deviled eggs, featuring creamy filling with a hint of heat from jalapeños and the rich flavor of cheddar cheese. Perfect for a party appetizer or a savory snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 12 jalapeños, finely chopped (adjust for heat preference)
  • ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional garnish: sliced jalapeños, paprika, or fresh parsley

Instructions

  • Boil the Eggs:
    Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover them with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Immediately transfer the eggs to an ice bath and let them cool for 10–15 minutes.
  • Peel and Halve the Eggs:
    Once the eggs are cooled, peel them carefully. Slice each egg in half lengthwise and remove the yolks, placing them in a mixing bowl. Set the egg whites aside on a serving platter.
  • Make the Filling:
    Mash the yolks with a fork until crumbly. Add mayonnaise, cream cheese, Dijon mustard, and white vinegar to the yolks. Mix until smooth and creamy. Stir in the finely chopped jalapeños and shredded cheddar cheese. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  • Fill the Egg Whites:
    Transfer the filling mixture to a piping bag or use a spoon to fill the egg white halves generously.
  • Garnish and Serve:
    Top each deviled egg with a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese or a slice of fresh jalapeño for added spice. Sprinkle with paprika or fresh parsley for an extra touch of color.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of jalapeños depending on how spicy you like the filling.
  • For a smoother filling, you can blend the ingredients in a food processor.
