These deviled eggs combine creamy yolk filling with smoky bacon, spicy jalapenos, and a tangy sriracha drizzle, making them perfect for Easter parties and gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
  • 4 slices bacon, cooked crisp and chopped finely
  • 12 medium jalapeno peppers, finely diced, seeds removed for mild heat or kept for extra kick
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise (60 ml), full-fat
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream (30 ml)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons sriracha sauce, plus extra for drizzle
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Chives or green onions, thinly sliced for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place 12 large eggs in a single layer at the bottom of a large pot. Cover with cold water about 1 inch above the eggs. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, then cover the pot and remove from heat. Let the eggs sit for 12 minutes.
  2. Transfer eggs immediately to a bowl of ice water. Let chill for at least 10 minutes. Gently tap each egg on the counter and peel off the shell, rinsing under cold water if needed.
  3. Slice peeled eggs in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out yolks into a medium bowl. Mash yolks with a fork until crumbly but not powdery.
  4. Add mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and sriracha to the mashed yolks. Stir thoroughly until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  5. Fold in finely chopped bacon pieces and diced jalapenos. Stir gently to distribute evenly without breaking the filling.
  6. Using a small spoon or piping bag, fill each egg white half with the yolk mixture, aiming for a slight mound on top.
  7. Drizzle sriracha over each egg and sprinkle with chopped chives or green onions for garnish.
  8. Refrigerate deviled eggs for at least 30 minutes before serving to let flavors meld and filling firm up slightly.

Notes

Use the off-heat steeping method to avoid overcooking eggs and achieve creamy yolks. For easier peeling, use eggs that are at least a week old and shock them in ice water immediately after boiling. Adjust sriracha and jalapeno seeds to control spice level. Bacon can be cooked in the microwave between paper towels for 4-5 minutes until crisp. If filling is too thick, add more mayo or sour cream; if too loose, add more yolks or a dash of cream cheese. Piping bags with star tips create prettier swirls but spoons work fine.
