Spicy Deviled Eggs Recipe with Bacon and Jalapeno

My spicy deviled eggs recipe is spiked with jalapeno, bacon and sriracha, the best deviled eggs a spicy food lover could ask for. Very easy to make!

Spicy Deviled Eggs Recipe with Bacon and Jalapeno

Deviled eggs are always popular around the holidays. I've had them at just about every Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter gathering I've ever been to, but they're also perfect for game day eats. I'll eat them anytime I can get them. As much as I love classic deviled eggs like Mom used to make, what I REALLY love are spicy deviled eggs.

YES!

For my spicy food loving friends, I'm making spicy deviled eggs and I think you'll love them. They're sort of a riff off of jalapeno poppers, so you can call them jalapeno popper deviled eggs or even bacon deviled eggs if you'd like. No matter what you want to call them, they're amazing!

Plus you can adjust the ingredients to your own spice level and taste.

Let's talk about how we make these bacon deviled eggs with jalapeno, shall we?

Serving up some Spicy Deviled Eggs with Bacon and Jalapeno

Spicy Deviled Eggs with Bacon and Jalapeno Ingredients

Bacon. Use good quality bacon and make sure to finely mince it so it will evenly distribute in your egg yolk mixture. I'm using 3 slices of bacon for this recipe, but you can adjust to your own tastes. More bacon!

Jalapeno Peppers. Finely mince at least one jalapeno pepper so it will evenly mix in your deviled egg mixture, and slice one pepper for garnishing the deviled eggs for serving. You can use other peppers if you'd like. As a variation, try roasting the jalapeno before mincing for a bit of a smoky flavor.

Garlic. I've used 3 garlic cloves, minced just like the jalapenos. You can use garlic powder as an alternative.

Eggs. 6 hard boiled eggs will give you 12 stuffed deviled eggs. You can easily double or even triple this recipe by simply multiplying the ingredients.

Eggs for making spicy deviled eggs

Cream Cheese. I'm using 2 ounces of cream cheese to make the egg stuffing mixture a creamier quality. It also makes this recipe more like jalapeno popper deviled eggs. So good!

Mayonnaise. Mayo is a staple in classic deviled eggs, and adds to the creaminess and overall flavor. Use a good quality mayo. I use 2 tablespoons.

Mustard. Mustard is another staple in traditional deviled eggs, though not everyone uses it. My mother always did. I'm using spicy brown mustard to assist with the overall spicy quality, though you can use other mustard such as yellow mustard or Dijon mustard. Use your favorite.

Sriracha. Let's spice things up! I like to use some of my homemade sriracha, but use your favorite brand, or use a bit of your own favorite hot sauce. The recipe calls for 1 teaspoon, but you can easily add in more.

Spices. My recipe calls for 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper and a bit of salt and pepper, but here is where you can get creative. Add in more cayenne for a spicier deviled eggs, or use your own favorite spicy chili powder. Ghost pepper, anyone? That'll REALLY spice up your deviled eggs. Use smoked paprika for a milder version.

Garnish. Be sure to reserve some of the cooked bacon to crumble over the top. Sliced jalapenos add a nice touch, as does a sprinkling of spicy chili flakes and/or extra cayenne pepper or paprika.

How to Make Spicy Deviled Eggs - the Recipe Method

Heat a large pan to medium heat and cook the bacon about 5 minutes, until it is nice and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels. Reserve a bit of the bacon grease in the pan and reserve enough cooked bacon to use for garnish.

Cooking the bacon in a pan

Add the minced jalapeno pepper and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds, until you can smell the gorgeous garlic. Remove from heat.

Cooking the jalapeno peppers in a pan

Slice the hard boiled eggs in half.

A hard boiled egg sliced in half

Remove the yolks and add them to a large bowl along with the cooked bacon, jalapeno pepper, garlic, cream cheese, mayonnaise, spicy brown mustard, sriracha (or hot sauce), cayenne pepper and a bit of salt and pepper.

Mash the mixture with a fork, then stir it up until it is nice and creamy. You can also use a hand mixer for this.

Deviled egg filling in a bowl, nice and creamy

Spoon the spicy deviled egg filling into the halved egg whites. You can also use a piping bag for more of a decorative presentation.

Garnish with bacon, jalapeno slices, spicy chili flakes and/or extra cayenne pepper.

Makes 12 deviled eggs. Deviled eggs are gluten free.

Boom! Easy deviled eggs at your service and ready for the appetizer platter, with extra bacon and jalapeno pepper for me, please! Make mine extra spicy!

That's it, my friends. I hope you enjoy my spicy deviled eggs. Let me know how you wind up changing the recipe to your own spicy palates. I'm always curious to hear! Spice it up!

Recipe Tips & Notes

  • The Spicy Factor. It's easy to adjust the heat level if you want your deviled eggs more and less spicy. Skips the sriracha and use milder chili powder to tone things down. For even spicier deviled eggs, go with a very hot hot sauce or incorporate extra spicy chili powder, like ghost pepper powder. You know your own heat tolerance best. Just don't scare grandma!
  • Other Ingredients. Kick things up a notch by incorporating prepared horseradish. That'll really bring some zing!
  • Perfect Hard Boiled Eggs. For the best hard boiled eggs that peel easily, boil the water first, then add the eggs right from the refrigerator instead of bringing the water to a boil with the eggs inside. Add 1 teaspoon of baking soda once the water starts to boil. This will help the shells come off easily.

Storage & Leftovers

Storing your Spicy Deviled Eggs with Bacon and Jalapeno in an airtight container in the fridge may allow you to store the leftovers for up to 2-3 days. To maximize the storage life, make sure to refrigerate the eggs promptly.

    Howdy again Mike
    Tried your Deviled egg recipe today and it is pretty similar to my own. So I put two and two together and came up with 12.
    I use picked hot jalapeños instead of fresh and I always put diced green olives in mine. I loved your addition of the siracha hot sauce. It was awesome. Thanks again for another great recipe.

    I have made this recipe with rave reviews by friends. I am planning on making this a day in advance. How long will the eggs keep prior to consumption?

      As always, fresh is best. But when stored properly, they should stay delicious for up to 24 hours.

    I just made these eggs. Super good! I only had 3 hard boiled eggs left, so I made a half batch. I was curious how thick the paste was going to be. I didn't have any sriracha, so I used Louisiana habanero sauce. I used half of each ingredient, but when I tasted it I felt it needed more spice, so I added another shot of hot sauce. The paste is thick enough that when adding anything to it, you have to stir and stir a lot more than you think. What happened is that 2 of the 6 eggs had a high concentration of hot sauce and the other 4 did not.
    .
    I am learning several things every day.

        No! It was just a snack. I also want to make a salmon salad sandwich with canned salmon instead of tuna. And I will not count that either. What do you think about this plan. NOT RIGID. Maybe twice a week I cook dinner. Once a week we go out to eat. Once a week we get food delivered. Then my gorgeous wife only has to cover 3 days instead of the 7 she is used to.

    I'm suppose to make deviled eggs (for 2) this weekend. I will have to try this on a couple of the eggs. Sounds so good. I top my eggs with a piece of olive, pinch of dill relish, and will now add pepper to the eggs. I top the eggs so guest will know what is used in the filling. Thank you for sharing.
