Huevos rellenos estilo jalapeño popper con beicon

Ingredientes

• 6 large eggs
• 16 sliced pickled jalapenos, divided
• 6 slices bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
• 4 to 6 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika

Preparación

1. 1

   Hard boil the eggs. This is how I make perfect hard-boiled eggs. Place the eggs in a large sauce pan with cold water. Add enough water that the eggs are fully submerged. Over high heat bring water to a rolling boil. Once the water has come to a boil, remove the pan from the heat, cover and let sit for 12 minutes.

2. 2

   Chop 4 of the jalapeno slices and set aside.

3. 3

   Peel the eggs and slice in half lengthwise. Remove yolks and fork mash them in a medium mixing bowl. To the bowl, add bacon, mayonnaise, cream cheese, and chopped jalapenos. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.

4. 4

   Spoon the mixture into a plastic bag or pastry bag. Squeeze the mixture to one corner of the bag and snip off the corner. Use this to pipe the filling into the egg halves.

5. 5

   Top each egg with a jalapeno slice. Sprinkle the paprika over top of the eggs.
