Ingredients

  • 6 eggs
  • 3 slices of bacon finely chopped
  • 2 Jalapeno peppers finely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove finely minced
  • 2 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 4 Tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 teaspoons yellow mustard
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Fill the bottom of a pan with about 1-2 inches worth of water. (Just enough to steam the eggs) Bring the water to a boil.
  • Once the water is boiling, gently lower the eggs into the water or place in a steaming basket. Cover the pan with a lid.
  • Lower the temperature to a gentle simmer and cook the eggs for 11 minutes.
  • Remove the eggs from the water, test one. Shock the eggs in an ice bath. Let them cool completely before peeling.
  • Peel eggs, slice in half and remove yolks from the whites. Set aside.
  • In a small skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy and cooked through. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  • Add the jalapeno to the pan and cook for 1 minute. Add garlic and cook for one additional minute. Remove the jalapeno and garlic with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, use an electric mixer on medium low speed to mix together the yolks, jalapeno mixture, cream cheese, mayonnaise, mustard, hot sauce, cayenne and salt. Mix until fully incorporated.
  • Use a piping bag, or spoon to fill each egg white half with filling. Top with bacon crumbles and additional garnishes if desired. Serve warm or chilled.

Notes

Use a steaming basket for easy to peel eggs.
Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature for an extra smooth texture.
Adjust the level of spiciness by using more or less jalapeno, hot sauce, and cayenne pepper.
For a fancy presentation, fill using a piping bag and garnish using bacon, jalapeno, and a pinch of cayenne or paprika.
