  3. 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
  4. 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  5. 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  6. 12 jalapeños, finely chopped (adjust for heat preference)
  7. 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  8. Salt and black pepper to taste
  9. Optional garnish: sliced jalapeños, paprika, or fresh parsley

Instructions

  • Boil the Eggs:
    • Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover them with water.
    • Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.

  • Peel and Halve the Eggs:

    • Slice each egg in half lengthwise and remove the yolks, placing them in a mixing bowl. Set the egg whites aside on a serving platter.
  • Make the Filling:
    • Mash the yolks with a fork until crumbly.
    • Add mayonnaise, cream cheese, Dijon mustard, and white vinegar to the yolks. Mix until smooth and creamy.
    • Stir in the finely chopped jalapeños and shredded cheddar cheese.
    • Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  • Fill the Egg Whites:
    • Transfer the filling mixture to a piping bag or use a spoon to fill the egg white halves generously.
  • Garnish and Serve:
    • Top each deviled egg with a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese or a slice of fresh jalapeño for added spice.
    • Sprinkle with paprika or fresh parsley for an extra touch of color.

Notes

  • Adjust the number of jalapeños based on your heat preference.
