WHY I LOVE THIS RECIPE

This recipe is my new favorite way to spice up traditional deviled eggs! It’s still a super simple recipe with a fun twist. I’ve added just two additional ingredients to this classic appetizer, but the process of making them is still pretty much the same as any other version.

If you like your deviled eggs on the tangier side, this recipe with jalapeños will definitely wake up your taste buds. The addition of bacon really adds to the flavor of this recipe. Salty bacon mixed with the creamy and spicy yolk mixture and the cooling flavor of the egg whites is a fantastic combination of flavors.
