instructions
    1

    Start by hard boiling the eggs: Place the eggs in a saucepan, cover them with cold water, and bring to a boil over medium heat.

    2

    Once boiling, turn off the heat and cover the pan. Let the eggs sit for about 12 minutes.

    3

    After 12 minutes, transfer the eggs to an ice bath for about 5 minutes to cool them down quickly.

    4

    Peel the cooled eggs and slice them in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl.

    5

    Mash the yolks with a fork, then add mayonnaise, mustard, hot sauce, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth.

    6

    Finely chop the jalapeño and add it to the yolk mixture for an extra kick, then mix well.

    7

    Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves.

    8

    Garnish with chopped green onions on top for added flavor and color.

    9

    Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.

How to be creative
  • Try adding avocado to the yolk mixture for a creamier texture.
  • Use different types of hot sauce to customize the heat level to your preference.
  • Top with crumbled bacon bits for an extra crunchy texture.
Important Tips
  • For easier peeling, use eggs that are at least a week old.
  • Dust the finished eggs with extra paprika for a pop of color.
  • Adjust the amount of hot sauce based on your heat tolerance.
