Step 1

Heat a large pan to medium heat and cook the bacon about 5 minutes, until it is nice and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels. Reserve a bit of the bacon grease in the pan and reserve enough cooked bacon to use for garnish.

Step 2

Add the minced jalapeno pepper and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds, until you can smell the gorgeous garlic. Remove from heat.

Step 3

Slice the hard boiled eggs in half. Remove the yolks and add them to a large bowl along with the cooked bacon, jalapeno pepper, garlic, cream cheese, mayonnaise, spicy brown mustard, sriracha (or hot sauce), cayenne pepper and a bit of salt and pepper.

Step 4

Mash the mixture with a fork, then stir it up until it is nice and creamy. You can also use a hand mixer for this.

Step 5

Spoon the spicy deviled egg filling into the halved egg whites.

Step 6

Garnish with bacon, jalapeno slices, spicy chili flakes and/or extra cayenne pepper.
