Ingredients
Scale
Eggs
- 8 eggs
Filling
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 3 to 4 tablespoons canned jalapenos (with some juice)
- 2 to 3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh jalapenos (seeds removed for milder spice)
- 3 tablespoons finely chopped tomatoes (seeds and pulp removed)
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- Few dashes hot sauce
Garnish
- Sliced jalapenos (optional)
Instructions
- Boil eggs: Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water, adding a pinch of salt to the water. Heat over medium-high until the water reaches a full boil.
- Rest and cool eggs: Remove the saucepan from heat and let the eggs sit in the hot water for 10 minutes. Transfer the eggs to an ice water bath to cool completely, which also makes peeling easier.
- Peel and halve eggs: Once cool, peel the eggs carefully and cut them in half lengthwise. Gently remove the yolks and place them into a mixing bowl.
- Prepare the filling: Mash the egg yolks with a fork until smooth with no lumps. Add mayonnaise, canned jalapenos with some of their juice, fresh jalapenos, chopped tomatoes, cilantro, hot sauce, and salt. Mix thoroughly until the filling is well combined. Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Assemble deviled eggs: Spoon or use a small ice cream scoop to fill each egg white half with the jalapeno yolk mixture, ensuring each is generously filled.
- Garnish: Top each filled egg half with sliced jalapenos if you desire an extra kick and decorative touch.
Notes
- For a milder version, remove seeds from fresh jalapenos before chopping.
- Use fresh cilantro to add a burst of herbal freshness.
- Chilling the eggs in ice water after boiling prevents overcooking and makes peeling easier.
- The filling can be made a few hours ahead and refrigerated to allow flavors to meld.
- Adjust the amount of hot sauce according to your preferred spice level.
