Ingredients
Scale
- 6Â large eggs
- 16 sliced pickled jalapenos, divided
- 6 slices bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
- 4 to 6 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
Instructions
- Hard boil the eggs.  This is how I make perfect hard-boiled eggs.  Place the eggs in a large sauce pan with cold water.  Add enough water that the eggs are fully submerged.  Over high heat bring water to a rolling boil.  Once the water has come to a boil, remove the pan from the heat, cover and let sit for 12 minutes.
- Chop 4 of the jalapeno slices and set aside.
- Peel the eggs and slice in half lengthwise. Remove yolks and fork mash them in a medium mixing bowl. Â To the bowl, add bacon, mayonnaise, cream cheese, and chopped jalapenos. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Spoon the mixture into a plastic bag or pastry bag.  Squeeze the mixture to one corner of the bag and snip off the corner. Use this to pipe the filling into the egg halves.
- Top each egg with a jalapeno slice. Sprinkle the paprika over top of the eggs.
