These Spicy Deviled Eggs are easy and delicious! The spicy element is thanks to candied jalapenos! They are spicy, sweet and creamy! Perfect for holidays, picnics or any time you need a delicious appetizer!
My family are in love with my Candied Jalapenos. Not only the peppers themselves, but the leftover brining liquid is perfect to spruce up an aioli, add to chilies, ketchup, as a glaze for poultry…. the possibilities are endless!
The candied jalapeños add a bit of sweet, spicy heat that adds great flavor and is a great variation from classic eggs.
Ingredients you need
- eggs – hard boiled egg yolks and egg whites.
- mayonnaise – use good quality mayonnaise, not salad dressing
- candied jalapeños with juice
- dry mustard
- black pepper
How to make spicy deviled eggs
The perfect hard boiled egg will help you make the most delicious Spicy Deviled Eggs. To learn more about how to make the perfect hard boiled egg, see this article. Here is a great article from Food Network regarding making hard boiled eggs in a pressure cooker.
- Hard boil eggs. Peel eggs.
- Slice eggs in half lengthwise.
- Remove yolks and mash.
- Add mayonnaise, pepper brine, dry mustard and black pepper. Stir with a spoon to mix.
- Mince jalapeños.
- Add jalapeños to yolk mixture. Fill white halves with yolk mixture with a teaspoon or pipe it in. Garnish. For garnishing suggestions, see below.
Can deviled eggs be made the day before I serve them?
Although deviled eggs can be made 24 hours in advance, they will be more visually appealing if they are made the same day. Less than a few hours ahead of serving is the best time to finish your deviled eggs.
The eggs can be peeled at least 24 in advance. Peel the eggs, and store in an air tight container, in the refrigerator. (The eggs will smell up everything else in the refrigerator, if they are not covered.) Split your eggs in half, make the filling and fill them, just before serving.
What can spicy deviled eggs be garnished with?
These deviled eggs are garnished with either sliced or sprinkle diced candied jalapenos. This adds a bit more heat and some visual appeal.
You can also garnish with a bit of cayenne pepper, or other chili powder, diced parsley or sweet or smoked paprika.
That is how easy it is to make Spicy Deviled Eggs. One taste and you will be hooked. Make them for your next party or holiday table and watch your guests devour them!

Chef Mireille
I wish these were at the Passover dinner I attended on Saturday. The food had no spice and was so bland, however, I did not want to insult them. I love spicy food and these deviled eggs are right up my alley!
Beth Neels
They are super good! Thank you Mireille!
Brian Jones
These sound superb, I love a bit of chili and they are particularly good pickled. I usually pickle cherry bomb chilies, they are a bit ‘spicier’ than jalapeno and I reckon they would work really well in this. Looking forward to giving it a try.
Beth Neels
I pickled the cherry bombs last year, Brian. They are very good! Thanks so much for checking out the recipe!

Not only these are easy and delicious but they are so versatile, too. I lost count trying to think of the times I could use this recipe: a small gathering at home, to bring to my friends’ house, to a picnic, when staying home and just when I want something easy and delicious… There are many more!
