Spicy Jalapeno Popper Deviled Eggs Recipe
This recipe takes classic deviled eggs and adds a wonderful kick of heat. You get the creamy goodness combined with a pop of spicy jalapeno and a fantastic crunchy topping.

How to Make Spicy Deviled Eggs
Step 1: Prepare the Eggs
Hard boil your eggs and then peel them carefully under cold water. Slice each egg in half lengthwise and gently scoop out the bright yellow yolks into a small bowl.
Step 2: Make the Filling
Mash the egg yolks very well with a fork. Add mayonnaise, softened cream cheese, finely diced jalapeno, mustard powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until the filling is smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasonings as you like.
Step 3: Fill the Egg Halves
You can spoon the creamy yolk mixture back into the hollowed egg white halves, or use a piping bag for a prettier look. Fill them up nicely.
Step 4: Garnish and Serve Eggs
Sprinkle the crumbled bacon and chopped fresh chives over the filled deviled eggs. Serve these immediately or chill them in the fridge until you are ready to enjoy.
