Jalapeno Popper Deviled Eggs
What you need:
- 12 eggs
- 4 Tbsp. mayonnaise
- 6 Tbsp. cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup shredded cheddar jack cheese
- 1/3 cup pickled jalapenos, diced
- 1 package real bacon bits
- Hot sauce (optional)
Directions:
- In a saucepan, cover your dozen eggs with an inch or two of water. Bring to a boil over medium to medium high heat. Remove the saucepan from the heat and cover your pan. Let sit for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Remove shells from eggs - I do this under cold water because it's a little easier.
- Cut the eggs in half lengthwise and remove the yolks into a separate bowl.
- Mash the yolks a little. Then mix in mayonnaise, cream cheese, cheddar jack cheese, jalapenos, and half the package of bacon bits. For more heat, add some drops of hot sauce.
- Spoon mixture into halved eggs and top with additional bacon bits for garnish.
- Makes 24 deviled eggs.
