Ingredients
Scale
- 12 large eggs
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1–2 jalapeños, finely minced (seeds removed for less heat)
- Paprika, for garnish
Instructions
- Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat, cover, and let stand for 10-12 minutes.
- Drain eggs and immediately plunge into ice water to stop the cooking.
- Once cooled, peel the eggs and slice them in half lengthwise.
- Scoop out the yolks and place them in a medium bowl.
- Mash the yolks with a fork until smooth.
- Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to the mashed yolks. Mix until well combined and creamy.
- Stir in the crumbled bacon and minced jalapeños.
- Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves.
- Garnish with a sprinkle of paprika.
- Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
- For a smoother filling, you can press the mashed yolks through a sieve.
- Make ahead: Prepare the filling and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Fill the egg whites just before serving to prevent them from becoming soggy.
- Adjust the amount of jalapeño to your spice preference.
