Equipment

medium bowl
baking sheet
hand mixer optional
tin foil or parchment for lining the baking sheet

Ingredients

3 pieces bacon preferably thick-cut
2 teaspoon brown sugar
2 medium jalapenos sliced
12 hard boiled eggs peeled
½ scant cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoon yellow mustard
2 teaspoon red wine vinegar
⅛ teaspoon sugar
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 °. Line baking sheet with tin foil or parchment paper.
Place bacon on one half of the sheet pan and sprinkle with brown sugar. On the other half place the sliced jalapenos. Bake until the bacon is crispy and the jalapenos are caramelized and soft. If the jalapenos are getting done before the bacon, remove them from the baking sheet and finish baking the bacon. Chop both the bacon and jalapeno slices and set them aside for later.

Notes

Tips & Tricks:

Add more jalapenos for more spice.
Taste the filling and adjust according to your taste before adding in the bacon and jalapenos.
Use a bag with the corner cut off to fill the eggs quickly.

Tips for Filling Deviled Eggs:

One of the easiest ways to fill deviled eggs is to put the filling into a large zip top plastic bag, pastry bag, or piping bag. Cut off the corner of the bag and squeeze the filling into each half.

How to store:

Deviled eggs last 3-4 days in the refrigerator, however the bacon in these spicy jalapeno deviled eggs gets soft after storing. It still tastes great, but that crispiness is gone.
Deviled eggs should be stored in a single layer in an airtight container. Either an egg keeper or airtight container with a flat bottom can be used. The important thing is to line the bottom of the container with paper towels to absorb the condensation. However, if the paper towel is textured, the texture will imprint itself onto the egg.
