Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 6 Nellie’s Free Range Eggs
  • 2 tablespoons vinegar from pickled jalapeños (you can add chopped jalapeño peppers and carrots for extra spice)
  • 1-2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt or to taste

Instructions
 

  • Boil eggs: Gently place eggs in a single layer in a medium pot and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring water to a boil over medium-high heat, and once it comes to a strong boil, set a timer for five minutes. After five minutes, remove eggs from heat, discard hot water, and run eggs under cold water until cool. Once cool, drain water and refrigerate until you’re ready to use. Once the hard-boiled eggs have cooled, carefully peel them and slice them in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and place them in a separate bowl.
  • Mash and mix: Mash the egg yolks with a fork or masher until they are crumbly. Add the mayonnaise, vinegar, and salt to the bowl with the egg yolks. Mix well until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined and the mixture is smooth.
  • Taste and adjust: Taste the filling and adjust the seasonings according to your preferences, adding more salt, vinegar, or mayonnaise if needed.
  • Fill egg halves: Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves, dividing it evenly among them.
  • Chill and serve: chill the jalapeño deviled eggs in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
  • To serve: When serving, consider adding a small slice or dice of pickled carrots and jalapeños on top of each deviled egg for visual appeal and an extra burst of heat.

A Note from Lola

Making hard-boiled eggs comes as second nature to me, but believe it or not, there are several very good cooks in my family who boil their eggs to the point of no return, which inevitably results in a weird gray color (sometimes described as a green ring) around the yolks. If this sounds like you, please read my post How to Make Perfect Deviled Eggs.
 

TIPS, TRICKS, AND SUBSTITUTIONS

  • Custom seasonings: Feel free to experiment with different seasonings and spices to enhance the flavor of your jalapeño deviled eggs. You can try adding smoked paprika, or even add the diced pickled jalapeños and carrots directly into the mixture. For another spicy spin on deviled eggs, check out my Chipotle Deviled Eggs recipe.
  • Mayonnaise substitute: Consider substituting the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt or mashed avocado. This reduces the overall calorie and fat content while still maintaining a creamy texture.
  • Piping techniques: To create decorative designs, you can experiment with different piping tips or use a plastic bag with a small hole cut in one corner if you don't have a piping bag.
