Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Gently place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan. Add enough cold water to cover the eggs by at least 1 inch. Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat. (5 minutes)

02

Step
15 mins

Once boiling, cover the saucepan, remove it from the heat, and let the eggs stand in the hot water for exactly 15 minutes. (15 minutes)

03

Step
3 mins

After 15 minutes, carefully pour out the hot water and immediately run cold water over the eggs until they are cool enough to handle. This will help prevent a green ring from forming around the yolks. (3 minutes)

04

Step
5 mins

Gently peel the cooled eggs. Cut each egg in half lengthwise. Carefully remove the yolks and transfer them to a mixing bowl. (5 minutes)

05

Step
3 mins

Add the minced jalapeño, habanero, mayonnaise, and Dijon mustard to the bowl with the yolks. Using a fork or a potato masher, mash the mixture together until it is smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. (3 minutes)

06

Step
5 mins

For an elegant presentation, transfer the yolk mixture to a pastry bag fitted with a decorative tip. Pipe the mixture evenly into the hollows of the egg white halves. (5 minutes)

07

Step
2 mins

Lightly sprinkle the filled eggs with smoked paprika for a touch of color and a hint of smoky flavor. Serve chilled and prepare for a fiery sensation! (2 minutes)

A little goes a long way with habaneros! Start with a small amount and adjust to your preferred spice level. Always wear gloves when handling hot peppers to avoid skin irritation.
For a smoother filling, you can use a food processor to blend the yolk mixture.
If you don't have a pastry bag, you can simply spoon the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves.
For a milder flavor, roast the jalapeño before mincing.
