Zesty Jalapeno Deviled Eggs Recipe
These deviled eggs bring a wonderful kick of heat and fresh flavor to your plate. The diced jalapeno adds just enough spice without being too much, making them a fantastic party appetizer.
I find they are always the first to disappear at any gathering! You’ll love the balance of creamy and spicy.
Key Ingredients & Tips for Jalapeno Eggs
- Jalapeno Heat: If you want less heat, make sure to remove all the seeds and the white membrane from the jalapeno. For more spice, you can leave a few seeds in.
- Creamy Filling: Use good quality mayonnaise for the best creamy texture. I also find a little bit of vinegar helps balance the flavors.
- Presentation: A thin slice of fresh jalapeno or a sprinkle of paprika on top makes these deviled eggs look extra special.
What You Need for Jalapeno Deviled Eggs
- 6 hard-boiled eggs
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon finely diced fresh jalapeno
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon yellow mustard
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Paprika for garnish (optional)
⏱️ Time: 20 minutes🍽️ Yields: 12 halves
How to Make Zesty Jalapeno Deviled Eggs
Step 1: Prep the Eggs
First, carefully peel your hard-boiled eggs. Slice each egg in half lengthwise and gently scoop out the cooked yolks into a small bowl. Place the empty egg white halves on a serving platter.
Step 2: Make the Filling
Mash the egg yolks very well with a fork until they are smooth. Add the mayonnaise, finely diced jalapeno, white vinegar, and mustard to the mashed yolks. Mix everything together until it’s creamy and fully combined. Taste and season with salt and black pepper as you like.
Step 3: Fill and Garnish
Spoon the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves. You can use a small spoon or a piping bag if you want them to look fancy. Sprinkle a little paprika over each deviled egg for a pop of color.
📝 Final Note
Keep these deviled eggs chilled in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve them. They taste best when fresh, but you can enjoy them within 2 days.

Key Ingredients & Tips for Mexican Deviled Eggs
- Fresh Cilantro: Always use fresh cilantro for the best bright, herbal flavor. Dried cilantro will not give you the same lively taste.

- Spice Levels: Adjust the chili powder and cumin to your liking. If you prefer more spice, you can add a tiny pinch of cayenne pepper too.
