Spicy Deviled Eggs

Step by Step Instructions

1. 1

   Fill the large pot with about 1-2 inches of water (just enough to steam the eggs). Bring the water to a boil. Once boiling, place the eggs in the water or place eggs in a steam basket into the water. Cover and lower the temperature to a gentle simmer. Let eggs cook for 11 minutes.

   For this step

   • 6 eggs
2. 2

   Remove the eggs from the water. Immediately, shock the eggs in an ice bath. Let them cool completely before peeling.

3. 3

   Peel shells of eggs. Slice egg in half lengthwise and remove the yolks from the whites. Place egg yolks in a medium bowl or food processor.

4. 4

   In a small skillet, cook the diced bacon over medium heat until crispy and cooked through. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside on a paper towel lined bowl. Leave bacon grease in the skillet.

   For this step

   • 3 slices of bacon, finely chopped
5. 5

   Add the jalapeno to the pan and sauté for 1 minute. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute. Remove the jalapeno and garlic with a slotted spoon and set aside.

   For this step

   • 2 jalapeno peppers, finely chopped
   • 1 garlic clove, finely minced
6. 6

   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. DO NOT add bacon. Mix until fully incorporated.

   For this step

   • 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
   • 4 Tablespoons mayonnaise
   • 2 teaspoons yellow mustard
   • 1 teaspoon hot sauce
   • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
