Jalapeno Deviled Eggs

A couple of years ago, my kids developed a love for Jalapenos, and since then, they ask me to include them in many dishes that I make, we decided to try adding some Jalapenos to our deviled eggs recipe.

Jalapeno deviled eggs tantalize the taste buds with their perfect blend of creaminess and spice. This twist on the classic appetizer offers a bold flavor profile that appeals to adventurous eaters and traditionalists alike.

Essential Ingredients for Jalapeno Deviled Eggs

Crafting the perfect jalapeno deviled eggs requires fresh eggs, quality mayonnaise (or Miracle Whip we prefer the kind with olive oil), mustard, and, of course, jalapenos. You can use fresh or canned. We can our own jalapenos and use the liquid in the canning jar in this recipe. A store bought jar & liquid work, too. Don’t forget the salt, pepper, and paprika – feel free to adjust the quantity of these to YOUR taste preference.

Health Benefits of Jalapenos

Jalapenos are rich in vitamins A and C and possess capsaicin, which offers anti-inflammatory and metabolism-boosting properties. Incorporating them into deviled eggs adds a nutritional boost.

Caloric Breakdown of Jalapeno Deviled Eggs

Each jalapeno deviled egg is relatively low in calories, making it a guilt-free snack. The combination of eggs and jalapenos provides protein, healthy fats, and essential nutrients.

The recipe I’ve always used is for 6 eggs, so I just have to double it, quadruple it, etc. when I make larger quantities, as seen above.

There are a few tools I use to make these that really come in handy and make the job easier, as well as producing a better product. If you like chunky yolk mixture this won’t be for you. If you like the yolk mixture to be smooth, this will be perfect for you 🙂 The picture above is the strainer I mention using in the recipe. This one is quite inexpensive, and it has the extra hooks to help balance it over a bowl so the yolk mix will fall right through as you mash it. It’s sturdy, and balanced, so it doesn’t fall over on me. It says hand wash only, but I ran it through the top rack of the dishwasher and it was fine – but do so at your own risk 🙂

This is similar to my piping bag & tips. I’ve had mine for years, and the brand is rubbed off, but this is inexpensive, and what it looks like. This is a set that includes a Piping Bag & Tips. This i do hand wash, but if you run hot water through it as soon as you’re done, it’s really easy to clean. You can always just use a spoon or fork to put the yolk mix into the egg whites, but this makes them look so pretty! It’s a nice treat for special occasions, and when taking them to a potluck.

This is a Deviled Egg Carrier with lid. I have always just used the platter pictured at the top for my Deviled Eggs, but I also use it for many other things. During the holidays, I need to free up that platter. Also, people request my Jalapeno Deviled Eggs when we are taking a dish to a group event or potluck. I just use plastic wrap over the top of my platter currently, but sometimes they get smashed in transport, and I have to worry about breaking my favorite platter. I want this carrier to not only make it easier to transport them, but also to make it easier to stack and store them in the refrigerator. UPDATE: I got the carrier and it works AMAZING for transport and storing in the refrigerator (stackable!).

Hard Boiling the Eggs

Begin by boiling the eggs to perfection. Place the eggs in a pot, cover them with water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, let them cook for about 10-15 minutes. Immediately transfer the eggs to an ice bath to halt the cooking process and facilitate easy peeling.

Preparing the Deviled Egg Filling

While the eggs cool, prepare the creamy filling. Combine mayonnaise, mustard, Jalapeno Juice, salt, and pepper. Mash the egg yolks into this mixture until smooth and creamy. If preferred, use a food processor for this step.

Incorporating Jalapenos into Deviled Eggs

This can be done a variety of ways. For this recipe, we just used the liquid from our canned jalapenos and placed sliced jalapenos on top of the deviled eggs. Alternatively, you can finely dice additional jalapenos, and mix into the creamy deviled egg filling. Adjust the quantity based on your heat preference. You can leave the seeds for more heat or remove the seeds for less heat. 

Variations of Jalapeno Deviled Eggs:

Spicy Jalapeno Deviled Eggs

For those who relish extra heat, increase the jalapeno quantity or add a splash of hot sauce. This variation will set your palate ablaze with its fiery kick.

Jalapeno Deviled Eggs with a Twist

Experiment with additional ingredients like bacon bits, avocado, or cheese. These twists add complexity and depth to the traditional recipe.

How to Garnish Jalapeno Deviled Eggs

Enhance your presentation with garnishes like paprika, chopped chives, or additional jalapeno slices. These finishing touches add both flavor and aesthetic appeal.

How to Store Leftover Spicy Jalapeno Deviled Eggs

Store leftover jalapeno deviled eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will stay fresh for up to two days, maintaining their flavor and texture.
