Spicy Pepper Jelly Deviled Eggs offer a delightful twist on classic deviled eggs by incorporating sweet and spicy pepper jelly, creating a creamy, tangy, and flavorful appetizer perfect for any gathering.

Ingredients

Scale

Eggs

  • 6 large eggs

Filling

  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon sweet and spicy pepper jelly
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Pinch of smoked paprika (optional)

Garnish

  • Fresh chives or green onions, finely chopped
  • Additional pepper jelly, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Boil the eggs: Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the pan, remove it from heat, and let the eggs sit undisturbed for 10-12 minutes to cook through.
  2. Cool and peel eggs: Transfer the cooked eggs to an ice bath and let them cool for 5 minutes. This stops the cooking process and makes peeling easier. Once cooled, gently peel the eggs and slice them in half lengthwise.
  3. Prepare yolk mixture: Carefully remove the yolks from the egg halves and place them in a bowl. Mash the yolks with a fork until smooth and crumb-free.
  4. Mix the filling: Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, sweet and spicy pepper jelly, apple cider vinegar, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to the mashed yolks. Mix thoroughly until creamy and well combined.
  5. Fill egg whites: Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the hollowed egg white halves evenly and neatly.
  6. Garnish and serve: Optionally, add a small dab of extra pepper jelly on top of each deviled egg, sprinkle with a pinch of smoked paprika, and garnish with finely chopped fresh chives or green onions for added flavor and presentation. Serve immediately or chill until ready to serve.

Notes

  • Use fresh eggs for best results and easier peeling.
  • Adjust the amount of pepper jelly based on your spice preference.
  • For a smoother filling, you can blend the yolk mixture instead of mashing.
  • Storing the deviled eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator keeps them fresh for up to 2 days.
  • Smoked paprika adds a smoky depth but is optional for those who prefer milder flavors.
