Jalapeno Bacon Cheddar Deviled Eggs

Ingredients

12eggs

4 slices bacon

3jalapeno peppers

1 cup finely shredded sharp Cheddar cheese

⅓ cup mayonnaise

¼red onion, minced

2 tablespoons spicy brown mustard

1 pinch paprika, or as desired

Directions

Step 1

Place eggs in a saucepan; cover with water. Bring to a boil, remove from heat, and let eggs stand in hot water for 15 minutes. Remove eggs from hot water, cool under cold running water, and peel.

Step 2

Place bacon in a large skillet; cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon on paper towels; crumble when cool enough to handle.

Step 3

Remove seeds and stems from jalapenos; mince 1 pepper and slice remaining peppers into very thin strips; set aside.

Step 4

Cut eggs in half lengthwise; place yolks in a bowl. Mash egg yolks with a fork; stir in minced jalapeno, Cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, red onion, and mustard.

Step 5

Place egg whites cut-side up on a serving platter. Spoon yolk mixture into egg white halves; sprinkle with crumbled bacon and paprika.

Cook's Notes:

If your yolk mix is too stiff, add more mayo or mustard depending on your own tastes. You can also use whole grain mustard, Dijon mustard or whatever mustard you prefer.
