Ingredients:
- 6 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2-3 fresh jalapeños (depending on your spice preference), finely chopped (seeds removed for less heat)
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or a mix of cheddar and cream cheese for extra creaminess)
- 1-2 tablespoons pickled jalapeños, chopped (optional, for extra flavor)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (for garnish)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro or green onions for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
1. Boil the Eggs:
Start by placing your eggs in a saucepan and covering them with water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 9-10 minutes to hard boil the eggs. Once done, remove the eggs from the hot water and place them in a bowl of ice water to cool. This will make peeling the eggs easier.
2. Prepare the Eggs:
Once the eggs are cool, peel them and slice them in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and place them in a bowl, making sure to set the whites aside on a plate.
3. Make the Filling:
To the bowl with the yolks, add the mayonnaise, cream cheese, Dijon mustard, chopped jalapeños (both fresh and pickled, if using), and garlic powder. Mash everything together with a fork until smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency with a little extra mayo if needed, and taste the mixture. Add salt and pepper to taste.
