Notes
The thing I love most about this easy appetizer is the fact that they aren't too spicy, but I can still taste the delicious jalapeño flavor. Our trick to getting the best of both worlds is to use jarred jalapeños in the mix, and fresh jalapeños on top! I always thought canned or jarred jalapeños were gross, but don't be afraid to try them.
They have the perfect amount of heat and tons of flavor, giving your deviled eggs that perfect medium heat jalapeño touch. We topped our deviled eggs with a super thin slice of fresh jalapeño and it was the perfect finishing touch.
We'd also recommend bringing your cream cheese to room temperature before adding it into your egg yolk mixture. This will give your filling the creamy texture you are hoping for.
Our last trick is to use precooked bacon or bacon bits both in your egg mixture and on top. This is another great time saver and the easiest way to speed up the cooking process! Just pop it in the microwave for a few seconds, then crumble it for your filling and break off a few crispy pieces to top off your deviled eggs.
