Ingredients
Eggs
6largeeggsHard boiled
1/4cupcream cheeseSoftened
2tablespoonsmayonnaise
1tablespoonDijon mustard
2tablespoonspickled jalapeñosChopped
Instructions
Place the eggs in a saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, cover the pot, remove from heat, and let sit for 12 minutes.
Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool, then gently peel the shells.
Cut each egg in half lengthwise and carefully remove the yolks, placing them in a mixing bowl.
Add the cream cheese, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and chopped jalapeños to the yolks. Mash everything until smooth.
Use a spoon or piping bag to fill the egg whites with the yolk mixture generously.
Optionally, garnish with extra jalapeño slices or chopped herbs, then chill before serving.
Notes
For a smokier flavor, try adding crispy bacon bits on top. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
