Ingredients

Scale

  • 12 large hardboiled eggs – peeled
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup cream cheese – softened
  • 2–3 tablespoons pickled jalapeños – chopped
  • 1 tablespoon pickled jalapeño juice
  • 2 teaspoons dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 6 slices chiken – cooked crispy and chopped
  • Fresh jalapeños – thinly sliced for garnish

Optional Substitutions:

  • For a lighter version, use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise.
  • Swap out the chiken for turkey chiken alternative for a healthier or vegetarian option.

Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Eggs

Cut the hardboiled eggs in half lengthwise and carefully remove the yolks, placing them in a bowl.

Step 2: Mix the Filling

Mash the yolks with a fork until crumbly. Add the mayonnaise, softened cream cheese, chopped pickled jalapeños, jalapeño juice, dijon mustard, sugar, and black pepper to the bowl. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.

Step 3: Add the Bacon

Mix the crispy, chopped bacon into the filling. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.

Step 4: Fill the Egg Whites

Using a spoon or piping bag, generously fill the egg white halves with the creamy jalapeño filling. If you have leftover filling, that’s okay—use it for a dip!

Step 5: Garnish

Top each deviled egg with a slice of fresh jalapeño and a sprinkle of crispy chiken. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Equipment

Notes

  • Adjusting the Heat: If you love more spice, add extra chopped jalapeños or leave in some of the seeds for extra heat. For a milder version, use fewer jalapeños.
  • Making Ahead: You can prepare the filling up to a day in advance and store it in an airtight container in the fridge. Simply fill the eggs just before serving.
