Yield::24 deviled eggs
Ingredients
12 eggs
4 slices bacon
3 jalapeno peppers
1 cup finely shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
⅓ cup mayonnaise
¼ red onion, minced
2 tablespoons spicy brown mustard
1 pinch paprika, or as desired
Directions
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.
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.
Remove seeds and stems from jalapenos; mince 1 pepper and slice remaining peppers into very thin strips; set aside.
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.
Place egg whites cut-side up on a serving platter. Spoon yolk mixture into egg white halves; sprinkle with crumbled bacon and paprika.
Recipe Tip
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.
