Equipment

Ingredients

6 large eggs, hard boiled and peeled
2 ounces cream cheese
3 Tablespoons mayonaisse
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
2 large jalapeno peppers, one sliced and one with the seeds removed, minced and divided (you can also leave the seeds if you want it to be extra spicy)
6 slices bacon, cooked, crumbled and divided

Instructions

Carefully slice the eggs in half the long way and place the yolks into medium mixing bowl.
Rinse and pat dry the egg whites and set aside.
Into the bowl off egg yolks add cream cheese, mayonnaise, vinegar, all of the minced jalapeno, and all of the bacon except for 1 Tablespoon. Mix well until fully combined.
Place the mixture into a sandwich size plastic zipper bag and snip off the end. Use that to "pipe" the mixture into the egg whites.
Sprinkle on remaining bacon and place a slice of the other jalapeno pepper into the top of each yolk. Refridgerate until you're ready to serve.

Notes

Eggs are easier to peel under cold running water. Using eggs that are a few days old (instead of super fresh ones) also makes peeling easier.

Want it milder? Remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeños. Or, leave them in or add a dash of cayenne for more heat

Swap the jalapeño slices for chives, smoked paprika, or even crispy fried onions for a little crunch.

No one likes soggy bacon! Cook it until extra crispy, then let it drain on a paper towel before crumbling.

Use a piping bag for fancier presentation. It's less messy too! You can use a fancy piping tip if you have one, or simply snip the corner off a plastic baggie.

Garnish like a pro. A sprinkle of smoked paprika, chives, or even crispy fried onions can take these deviled eggs to the next level.

Ingredients to prep ahead- Boil and peel the eggs in advance.

Leftovers and storage- Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days, but note that they don’t freeze well.
