Ingredients

To make Jalapeno Cream Cheese Deviled Eggs, you will need the following ingredients:

6 large eggs
3 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1-2 jalapeño peppers, finely chopped (adjust to taste)
1 teaspoon lime juice
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to prepare your Jalapeno Cream Cheese Deviled Eggs:

Begin by carefully boiling the eggs. Place the eggs in a pot and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil, then cover the pot and remove it from heat. Let the eggs sit for 12-15 minutes.
Once the eggs are done, plunge them into an ice bath to stop the cooking process. After about 5 minutes, peel the eggs and cut them in half lengthwise.
Remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl. Mash the yolks with a fork until they are crumbly.
Add the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chopped jalapeños, lime juice, salt, and pepper to the yolks. Mix everything together until it’s smooth and creamy.
Using a spoon or a piping bag, fill the egg whites with the yolk mixture. Be generous, as this filling is the star of the show!
Finally, garnish each filled egg with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro. This not only adds color but a fresh flavor that complements the spicy filling perfectly.

These Jalapeno Cream Cheese Deviled Eggs can be served immediately, or you can make them ahead of time and chill them in the refrigerator for later. Either way, they are destined to be a hit! Enjoy this exciting twist on a classic favorite with friends and family!
