You can choose to add mustard and candied crunchy bacon pieces to the filling. I skipped that, to simplify the recipe for you, but your deviled eggs will definitely taste better!
Tip: Use pickled Jalapeños for a special flavor twist!

🍴 Serving Ideas
Deviled eggs are quintessential party bites! They make a popular appearance during Easter, but also on other holidays, such as Christmas and New Years.
If you, or your guests, adore spicy hot food, add the Jalapeño infused cream cheese dip and the spiced Avocado Crostini Bites.
Cheese dips and creamy avocado balance out and compliment the chili heat really well.
🍱 Storage
Deviled eggs in general should be consumed quickly. Especially, because they are often left out on a buffet or platter to entertain your guests.
Therefore, keep them for up to 2 days in your fridge, refrigerated.
These don't freeze well at all. Instead, I recommend prepping your jalapeño deviled eggs a few hours or the night before your party.

A light-colored vinegar, like the white-wine vinegar we use in these creamy deviled eggs, brings a touch of acidity to the filling and balances the richness of the yolks and the mayonnaise.
If you basically steam eggs instead of boiling them, the whites will be softer and less hard/rubbery. And if you pressure-cook-steam them in a pressure cooker, they can be even less hard/rubbery than that (and also peel reeeallly easily).
Mash yolks with a fork and stir in mayonnaise, pickle relish and mustard.Add salt and pepper, to taste.Fill egg whites evenly with yolk mixture.Garnish with paprika, pickles and pimentos.
Prep deviled eggs too far in advance, and you'll have dried out filling and stinky boiled egg whites. For the best results, prep your deviled eggs up to two days in advance and keep the egg whites and filling separate until you're ready to serve. This prepping method also applies if you're not even leaving the house.
At a minimum, you'll need to allow for 20 to 25 minutes of chill time before serving. You can make deviled eggs up to 2 days in advance; be sure to store the egg whites and the yolk filling separately.
But when you're heavy-handed with this ingredient, not only will it overpower the taste of the filling, but it can also make for a loose, runny filling that's tough to pipe into the egg white. Follow this tip: Having just the right amount of mayonnaise in the filling makes for good flavor and good texture.
Making deviled eggs involves hard-boiling and peeling eggs, slicing them and scooping out the yolks to mix with mayonnaise or other ingredients, and then refilling. But a lot can go wrong in a process with so many steps. The eggs may be overcooked or undercooked.
While you want the water to boil, you don't want the eggs to stand in the boiling water for too long. The sulfurous smell comes from eggs that get overcooked during this process. Eggs that are cooked for too long or at too high a temperature will develop a green ring around the yolk. This ring causes that eggy smell.
Standard deviled eggs are undeniably good, but adding a touch of tomato paste and a generous pinch of smoked paprika makes them a bit more sophisticated. The flavor is gently sweet, forcefully spicy and perfectly smoky.
It's common for deviled eggs to "sweat" in the fridge, which can make them kinda soggy in a day or two. The paper towels will absorb the extra moisture and keep them fresh much longer! Change the paper towels every other day if you haven't already devoured them by then.
Use a pastry bag with a piping tip for a beautiful presentation when filling your deviled eggs. The three tips I use most often are the open star, closed star, and round (usually, ⅜″ or 7/16″, depending on the filling and the size of the well).
"Vinegar is an inherently acidic material, so if we add a few drops of vinegar into that boiling water that is going to increase the rate of denaturing and it's going to make that happen faster and help the poached egg hold its shape better."
Along with the egg yolk, mustard helps emulsify the mixture, reducing the risk of our mayo breaking. Vinegar or lemon juice — Not only does a little acid like wine vinegar, champagne vinegar, and lemon juice add incredible flavor to the mayonnaise, it also helps to stabilize the mixture.
Adding white vinegar or apple cider vinegar to your pot of water allegedly results in softer, easier-to-peel eggshells. That's because the acid in vinegar dissolves some of the calcium carbonate that makes up the egg's hard exterior.
When vinegar is added to eggs, its acetic acid combines with the calcium carbonate in the eggshell to produce carbon dioxide gas and calcium acetate. This reaction creates an acidic environment in the container, which can cause the egg whites to denature and become opaque and rubbery.
