Key Ingredients

These bacon jalapeno deviled eggs have many of the normal ingredients you're used to using, plus a few standouts:

• Hard-boiled eggs. These are, of course, the stars of the show. Make sure not to overcook your eggs. (How to tell? Overcooked eggs will have a gray ring around the yolk and will end up having a strong sulfur smell, something you definitely don't want at a party or anytime. Follow my instructions for making perfect hard-boiled eggs in the InstantPot to avoid over-cooking them!)
• Dijon mustard. You can get creative here and use a different type of mustard for a unique taste. We love the classic Dijon mustard in our deviled eggs, but yellow mustard would also work well.
• Mayonnaise. Choose your favorite mayo for these deviled eggs, as the taste will really shine through.
• Spices. A simple blend of salt, pepper, and paprika does the trick. Paprika is optional, but it adds a mild spicy, smoky flavor to the eggs and gives them that classic deviled egg finish.
• Bacon. The bacon in these deviled eggs turns these deviled eggs from an appetizer into almost a meal, lol! Even just a small sprinkling adds a TON of extra flavor.
• Jalapeno. Spice, y'all. You know I love it, and a small slice or two of jalapeno gives these eggs just the right amount of kick and crunch.
• Chives. Always such a great addition to deviled eggs.

Variations & Substitions

Want to make these deviled eggs more interesting? Here are a few ideas:

• Add some pickle flavor. Try using pickled jalapenos instead of fresh for a slightly brinier flavor. Or add some pickle relish to the egg yolk filling for a sweet, tangy flavor.
• Add cheese. Add some shredded cheddar for loaded deviled eggs
• Change out the mustard. Swap Dijon mustard for yellow mustard.
• Add more spice! Add a splash of hot sauce to the deviled egg filling for some extra heat.
• Make it vegetarian. Skip the bacon to make these spicy vegetarian deviled eggs.

How To Make These Bacon Jalapeno Deviled Eggs

Making these delicious bacon deviled eggs is super simple.

1. Hard-boil your eggs (an Instant Pot makes making hard-boiled eggs a breeze!). Cool and peel the eggs, then, using a sharp knife, cut the cooked eggs in half and remove the egg yolks. Place the egg whites on a tray or serving platter and set aside.
2. Mash the yolk filling! This recipe uses a classic deviled egg filling as the base. Mash up the yolks with a fork, then add the mayo, Dijon mustard, and spices.
3. Fill the eggs. Fill the egg white halves with your egg yolk mixture. You can do this simply with a spoon, or, if your mixture is thin enough, you can use a piping bag with a decorating tip (or a ziploc bag with one of the corners cut off). Top these with a dash of paprika, and you've got yourself a classic deviled egg.  
4. Add the bacon. We like to take it one step further at our house. I add a touch of bacon, which lends an extra savory flavor (and why wouldn't you add bacon to anything that you possibly can!).
5. Add chives, and then a slice of jalapeño pepper for just a little bit of heat and some added crunch. Seriously - these are THE BEST spicy deviled eggs ever! 

Are These Deviled Eggs Spicy?

These jalapeno bacon deviled eggs do have a bit of heat, but that mostly comes from the jalapenos. If you want to reduce the heat, you can leave out the jalapenos, or just make sure to remove all the seeds from the jalapeno before adding it as a garnish.

Can I Make Deviled Eggs Ahead Of Time?

Yes! You can make these bacon jalapeño deviled eggs up to 1 day in advance, which makes them super convenient when you're prepping for a party or need an app to bring for the holidays.

For best results:

• Prepare the filling and store it separately from the egg whites.
• Pipe or spoon the filling into the egg whites just before serving.
• Add bacon and jalapeño toppings right before serving to keep them fresh and crisp.

How Long Do Deviled Eggs Last?

Store deviled eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.

For the best flavor and texture, enjoy them within 24 hours. After that, the filling can start to lose freshness, and the bacon may soften.

Deviled eggs should never sit out at room temperature for more than 2 hours.
