Jalapeno Popper Deviled Eggs are flavored with cream cheese, jalapenos, and bacon and make a fantastic appetizer for Easter.
Deviled Eggs are one of my very favorite foods. It’s hard to resist that creamy center and food is so much more fun when you can pick it up and eat it with your fingers. I love playing with different Deviled Egg flavor combinations. You really can’t go wrong with plain deviled eggs, but I also love these Crab Deviled Eggs and Red Pepper Jelly and Bacon Deviled Eggs.
Jalapeno Popper Deviled Eggs are perfect for when you want deviled eggs with a little kick. I use fresh jalapenos that I mince and cook briefly in the grease that is leftover from frying the bacon, along with a little garlic. That way they are not crunchy when you bite into them and they pick up some bacon flavor.
Instead of fresh jalapenos you could use pickled jalapenos if you like the flavor.

This is my go-to deviled egg recipe! It’s good and not too time consuming. I save bacon grease for cooking so I can cheat a bit using bagged bacon bits and still have bacon grease to cook my garlic and peppers down. Everyone always loves these!
These are delicious. I will only be making these deviled eggs from now on. I did do 1 thing different from the original recipe. I had pickled jalapenos and used that instead of fresh and omitted the ACV. Thanks for a great recipe.
This is a great recipe. I’m about to make these for the 3rd time.
