These spicy jalapeno popper deviled eggs are one of my favorite appetizers for parties and holidays. Made with bacon, jalapeno peppers, and plenty of cheese, they really kick things up and get the party started. I just love anything spicy, and these jalapeno deviled eggs are super impressive looking and even better tasting!
I always make a tray of Deviled eggs for Easter, and I’m always looking for new ways to spice things up. These jalapeno popper -inspired deviled eggs quite literally spice things up with fresh jalapeno peppers, cheese, and bacon. They’re quick and easy to make and the taste is just divine!
What’s in This Jalapeno Deviled Eggs Recipe?
- Eggs: You’ll need a dozen large eggs for this recipe. I’ll show you my favorite way to hard-boil them in the recipe card.
- Bacon: Adds delicious umami flavor to these eggs. I recommend crumbling and cooking it ahead of time.
- Jalapenos: Add spice to these eggs. I like to add it to the filling and save a little for the topping so people know these eggs are spicy!
- Garlic: Enhances the savory flavor of the eggs.
- Mayonnaise : Makes the filling rich and creamy.
- Mustard: Dijon mustard adds a touch of tanginess to the filling.
- Smoked Paprika: Adds smokiness to the filling.
- Cheese: Use your favorite! I recommend Colby jack, pepper jack, or cheddar!
Tips for Success
- If these sound a little too spicy for you, skip the jalapeno in the yolk mixture. You can then just top them off with some jalapeno slices to still get a kick of heat.
- My foolproof method for peeling hard-boiled eggs is to keep them in the water used to cool them. Crack the ends of the eggs under water, roll the egg with the palm of your hand to continue to crack it, and then the shell will peel right off!
- To make ahead, boil, peel, halve the eggs, and make the yolk mixture. Store the egg whites and yolk mixture separately, in the fridge. Then assemble the deviled eggs when you’re ready to serve.
How to Store
Store leftover jalapeno deviled eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. I recommend serving them chilled straight from the fridge.

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.
Essential Grocery List
It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!
It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.
However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.
In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.
I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.
