Jalapeño Popper Deviled Eggs: A Spicy, Creamy Twist on a Classic Appetizer


  • Author: WAFA LI

Ingredients

• 6 large eggs, hard-boiled & peeled
• 2 oz cream cheese, softened
• 2 tbsp mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp sour cream or Greek yogurt
• 2–3 tbsp finely diced pickled jalapeños (adjust to heat preference)
• 2 slices bacon, cooked & crumbled
• 2 tbsp shredded sharp cheddar or pepper jack
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ¼ tsp smoked paprika
• Salt & black pepper to taste

Garnish:
• Extra crumbled bacon
• Thin jalapeño slices
• Chopped chives or green onion
• Extra shredded cheese


Instructions

  1. Slice eggs in half lengthwise. Gently remove yolks; place in a bowl. Arrange whites on a serving plate.
  2. Mash yolks with a fork. Add cream cheese, mayo, sour cream, jalapeños, 1 tbsp bacon, 1 tbsp cheese, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and fluffy (use a hand mixer for ultra-creamy texture).
  3. Spoon or pipe filling into egg whites (piping bag with star tip = pro look!).
  4. Top each with remaining bacon, a jalapeño slice, a pinch of cheese, and chives.
  5. Chill 30+ mins before serving (flavors meld beautifully).
