Step-by-step instructions

1. In a pot, boil the eggs for 10 minutes. Once done, remove from heat and let them cool before peeling.
2. Cook the bacon in a skillet until it’s crispy, then chop it into small pieces.
3. Slice the boiled eggs in half lengthwise, carefully remove the yolks, and place them in a bowl. Use a fork to mash them.
4. Add the chopped candied jalapeños, mayonnaise, honey, salt, and pepper to the mashed yolks. Mix until everything is well combined.
5. Spoon this delicious yolk mixture back into the egg whites, aiming for a smooth surface.
6. In the same skillet you used for the bacon, heat a tablespoon of honey until it bubbles. Brush this honey glaze over the deviled eggs for an extra touch of sweetness.
7. Sprinkle the chopped bacon on top of your creations.
8. Refrigerate the deviled eggs for a minimum of 30 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Best ways to enjoy it

When it comes to serving, presentation matters! Arrange the deviled eggs on a colorful platter, and consider adding some fresh herbs as garnish for a pop of color. Pair them with crispy tortilla chips or fresh veggies for a complete appetizer experience. For drinks, a chilled margarita or a light beer works wonders with the spicy-sweet profile of these bites.

How to store

If you have any leftovers (though they may not last long!), store the deviled eggs in an airtight container in the fridge. They will stay fresh for about 3 days. Avoid leaving them out at room temperature to ensure food safety. You can also consider freezing the yolk mixture separately, but the texture of the egg white may change upon thawing.

Helpful cooking tips

• For even easier peeling, use slightly older eggs; they peel better than fresh ones.
• Make some adjustments to suit your taste—add more jalapeños for extra kick or swap honey for maple syrup if you prefer.
• If you’re short on time, try using store-bought candied jalapeños.

Creative twists

Feeling adventurous? Mix things up by incorporating different flavors! Try adding crumbled feta or blue cheese for a tangier twist. A sprinkle of smoked paprika on top can also enhance the smoky flavor profile of the bacon. For those avoiding meat, consider substituting bacon with crispy roasted chickpeas for that crunchy texture!
