Ingredients:
How to Make Jalapeño Deviled Eggs
Bring a medium-sized pot filled two-thirds of the way with water to a boil over medium heat. Add in the eggs using a large spoon to place in the boiling water gently. Boil the eggs for 12 minutes.
Remove the eggs from the boiling water and place them in a bowl filled with cold water. Add ice to the bowl to speed up the chilling.
Let the eggs cool for 5-10 minutes. Then, gently crack each egg and peel in a bowl of water or under cool running water.
Slice each egg lengthwise, and using a spoon, gently remove the yolks and add them to a small bowl. Mash the egg yolks with a fork until they are broken apart and crumbly.
Add the mayonnaise, dijon, jalapeno juice, diced jalapeños, fresh herbs, salt, and cayenne. Mash the ingredients with the egg yolks using a fork until smooth and creamy. If needed, add more mayonnaise to ensure a creamy filling. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Depending on how you want to present the eggs, fill a pastry bag with a star tip or a large plain tip. Or you can spoon the filling back into the egg white halves.
Sprinkle the eggs with a pinch of paprika and garnish with fresh herbs. If you want more heat, garnish with a small slice of pickled jalapeño.

- Make Ahead: This Jalapeño Deviled Egg recipe can be made 2-3 days ahead of time and stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator.
