These Easy Bacon Jalapeño Deviled Eggs are creamy, spicy and topped with crispy bacon. The perfect make-ahead appetizer for Easter, holidays, or game day!
Add eggs to a large pot and bring to a boil over medium heat. Boil for 3-5 minutes, then turn off the burner and allow eggs to sit in the hot water for an additional 10 minutes. (Alternatively, you can hard-boil your eggs in an Instant Pot, which is super easy and makes them easy to peel.)
Drain eggs and immediately submerge them in an ice bath. The ice bath will help stop the eggs from continuing to cook and can help make them a little easier to peel.
Once eggs are cooled, peel them, slice them in half using a sharp knife, and remove the yolk from each egg.
Place the yolks, mustard, mayo, salt, and pepper in a bowl and mash well with a fork until all ingredients are smooth and combined.
Scoop small amounts of the yolk filling into your egg white halves. (If you want to get fancy, you can spoon the mixture into a ziplock bag, cut off one of the corners, and pipe the mixture into the egg halves.)
Sprinkle the eggs with paprika, then top each one with a few crumbles of bacon, chives, and a slice of jalapeno.
