Ingredients You’ll Need
6 large eggs
1/4 cup cream cheese , softened
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons pickled jalapeños , chopped (plus extra slices for topping if desired)
Salt and pepper , to taste
Paprika , for sprinkling (optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Hard-Boil the Eggs
Place the eggs in a pot and cover them with cold water by about 1 inch. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10–12 minutes . Transfer the eggs to an ice bath and let them cool completely before peeling.
Pro Tip: Tap the eggs gently on the counter to crack the shells slightly before peeling for easier handling.
2. Prepare the Filling
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and chopped pickled jalapeños. Mix until smooth and creamy, ensuring the jalapeños are evenly distributed throughout the filling.
