Bacon Jalapeno Deviled Eggs with Sriracha and Chives

 

Well we had a few people over to watch the Lions game yesterday... as disappointing as it was heh and I had a last minute craving for deviled eggs. I had remembered that I had some leftover bacon and a jalapeno that needed to be used... so why not throw it all together :p

 

Ingredients:

• 15 eggs
• 1 c Hellman's mayo - I used the EVOO one
• 1 jalapeno - seeded and minced
• 1/4 c bacon bits - I cheated and had some "real bacon bits" already in my fridge
• 2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
• Sriracha sauce
• 1/4 c chives, chopped
• 1 tsp Baking soda

Directions:

• Place eggs in cold water and add baking soda. Bring to a boil. Let boil for 1 minute, then cover and remove from the heat. Let rest for 20-30 minutes.
• Peel eggs and then slice in half.
• In a small bowl add the mayo, jalapeno, bacon bits, Dijon mustard and 12 of the egg yolks.  Mash the yolks and mix everything until smooth.
• Now here's my big trick, put the entire mix in a Ziploc back and then cut a corner off. Use it as a piping bag to put the mixture in the eggs :)
• Top with a dot of sriracha on each egg with mix and then add the chopped chives.

Watch out, these are very addicting... in fact I may have to make more tonight!
