Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Cut the eggs in half, legnth-wise and remove the yolk from the egg halves into a mixing bowl.
Take 1 Tablespoon of crumbled bacon and set aside (for topping).
Add cream cheese, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, the minced jalapeno pepper,all of the bacon (except for the portion that was held aside) and salt and pepper to taste to the mixing bowl.
Stir everything until well combined.
Place the yolk mixture into a zipper bag and cut one of the corners off.
"Pipe" the yolk mixture out of the corner of the bag into the holes in each egg (where the yolks used to be).
Place a slice of jalapeno pepper into each egg yolk mixture and and sprinkle with the remaining bacon crumbles.
Refrigerate until you're ready to serve them.
Notes
If you don’t want them too spicy, remove and dispose of the seeds before chopping.
You can easily make boil the eggs and fry off the bacon ahead and then peel and make the actual deviled eggs before serving.
These last a few days in the fridge in an airtight container, so get on those leftovers (if there are any)!
The eggs peel easier if done under cold water.
If you’re concerned about chopping the peppers (and getting that pepper residue on your hands which could easily burn your eyes if you rub them) use gloves.
I left the salt and pepper to taste. Start with a very small amount and go from there- make sure you mix it super well each time.
