- Use a fork to smash the egg yolks until they reach a crumb-like texture.
- Add mayonnaise and softened cream cheese to the yolks. Mix until combined and smooth. Add white wine vinegar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the bowl with the egg yolks. Mix to combine.
- Break 5 strips of crispy bacon up into little bits. Add ¾ of the bacon bits, diced jalapeño, and shredded cheddar cheese to the bowl with the yolks. Mix to combine. Transfer the egg yolk mixture to a piping bag or a plastic baggie with one corner cut off.
- Pipe the egg filling into the egg whites.
- Sprinkle the remaining bacon bits over the filling. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Enjoy!
Jalapeno Deviled Egg with Bacon Tips
- Cold hard-boiled eggs are easier to peel. Place your hard-boiled eggs in a bowl and refrigerate the night before making your eggs to peel them easily. Or, place your hard-boiled eggs in an ice water bath until cooled down and easy to peel.
- Peel your eggs very carefully after cooling to avoid making “craters” in the eggs with your fingernails.
- Prepare your crispy bacon in the oven ahead of time or as the eggs are boiling, on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper or foil. Bake it at 400°F for about 15 to 20 minutes until it’s crispy.
- Or, you can make a batch of our candied bacon recipe to use for this recipe. You will not believe how delicious candied bacon on jalapeno deviled eggs is! If you want to use candied bacon, it’s best to make it ahead of time.
- You can use Leftover Ham instead of bacon.
Jalapeno Deviled Eggs FAQs
Also known as stuffed eggs, salad eggs, dressed eggs, Russian eggs, and devilled eggs, deviled eggs are an egg appetizer made using hard-boiled eggs and whipped egg yolks. The results are a fluffy, creamy egg yolk served in the hard-boiled egg white and topped with whatever add-ins you like.
The term “deviled” traditionally refers to heavily seasoned fried or boiled foods, including eggs. Deviled eggs were originally prepared using mustard, pepper, and similarly strong ingredients.
Deviled eggs are good in the refrigerator for 3-4 days, but for the best taste, it is best to enjoy them within 2 days.
How to Boil Eggs for Deviled Eggs
- Add your desired amount of eggs to a large saucepan. Fill the saucepan with water until it is 1 inch above the eggs in the pan. If you are boiling more than 6 eggs, add enough water to cover 2 inches above the eggs.
- Cover the pan with a lid, and heat over high heat until the water reaches a full boil.
- Once the water is boiling, lower the temperature to medium-high and continue to boil for 7 minutes for hard-boiled eggs with a creamy yolk.
How Long to Boil Eggs for Deviled Eggs
Anywhere from 6 to 8 minutes will result in hard-boiled eggs with a creamy yolk that’s perfect for making deviled eggs. I recommend boiling for 7 minutes.
Boiling eggs is very easy to do. In fact, you can even use a pressure cooker to make Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs – or an air fryer for Air Fryer Hard Boiled Eggs!
Are deviled eggs keto-friendly?
Jalapeno deviled eggs are incredibly keto-friendly and great for a low carb meal plan. If you use our candied bacon to make them, keep an eye on the carbs. Otherwise, there is only about a single carb per egg. Enjoy!

Steaming the eggs instead of boiling, will rock your world! Makes even fresh eggs peel easily. I promise. 1 inch of water, steamer insert, any number of eggs, 14 mins. Done.
