jalapeño dill deviled eggs
Just in time for Easter, spicy jalapeños perfectly balance the sweet glaze of honey baked ham and satisfy your inner Texan with this fun twist on deviled eggs.
I absolutely love deviled eggs yet somehow only think to make them once a year around Easter. I have found many classic recipes that I adore, but this spicy twist just may be my new favorite. Being raised in Texas, I have grown to like my food spicy. Pickled jalapeños are a great way to add a kick of spice without completely overpowering the flavors of the dish. The jalapeños give these deviled eggs just enough heat to balance a sweet honey baked ham while still being able to enjoy the subtle flavor of the dill. Looking for a fun twist on an old classic? Give these Jalapeño Dill Deviled Eggs a try this year!
