Ingredients

• 6 pieces large eggs
• 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1.5 teaspoons hot sauce
• 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 6 pieces jalapeño slices
• 2 tablespoons fresh chives (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Place the eggs in a single layer in a medium-sized pot. Fill the pot with cold water until the eggs are submerged by about an inch.

Step 2

Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once the water reaches a rolling boil, turn off the heat, cover the pot, and let the eggs sit for 10 minutes.

Step 3

While the eggs rest, prepare an ice water bath by filling a large bowl with cold water and ice cubes.

Step 4

After 10 minutes, transfer the eggs to the ice bath to stop them from cooking. Let them cool for about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Carefully peel the shells off the cooled eggs and slice each egg in half lengthwise.

Step 6

Scoop the yolks out of the egg halves and place them in a mixing bowl. Set the egg whites aside on a serving platter.

Step 7

Mash the yolks with a fork until they are crumbly and fine.

Step 8

Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, hot sauce, cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the mashed yolks. Mix until the filling is smooth and well combined.

Step 9

Spoon the yolk mixture into a piping bag (or use a zip-top bag with the corner cut off) and pipe it into the hollow egg whites.

Step 10

Top each egg with a sliced jalapeño for an extra kick of heat.

Step 11

Finish by sprinkling a light dusting of smoked paprika and garnish with chopped chives, if desired.

Step 12

Refrigerate the eggs for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled and enjoy!
