Ingredients

• 6 pieces Large eggs
• 2 fillets Canned sardines in olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoons Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons Chili powder
• 2 slices Pickled jalapeños
• 1 teaspoon Fresh parsley
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Place the eggs in a medium-sized pot and fill with enough water to cover the eggs completely. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Once the water begins to boil, reduce the heat to medium and allow the eggs to simmer for 10 minutes.

Step 3

While the eggs cook, prepare a large bowl of ice water. Once the cooking time is up, transfer the eggs to the ice water using a slotted spoon and let them cool for 5 minutes.

Step 4

Peel the eggs and slice them in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the yolks and place them in a medium mixing bowl.

Step 5

Flake the sardines using a fork, ensuring there are no large chunks, and add them to the bowl with the egg yolks.

Step 6

Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mash the mixture with a fork until smooth and well combined.

Step 7

Finely chop the pickled jalapeños and fresh parsley, then fold them into the yolk mixture for an added layer of heat and freshness.

Step 8

Using a spoon or piping bag, carefully fill the egg white halves with the yolk mixture until they are slightly overfilled.

Step 9

Garnish the stuffed eggs with a light sprinkle of smoked paprika and additional parsley, if desired.

Step 10

Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 4 hours before serving. Enjoy your flavorful Huevos Picantes as an appetizer or snack!
