Jalapeño Popper Deviled Eggs

  1. Cook the eggs:
    Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a rolling boil, then cover the pot, turn off the heat, and let the eggs sit for 12-15 minutes. Once done, transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool completely.
  2. Make the filling:
    Once the eggs are cool, peel and slice them lengthwise. Carefully remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl. Add the cream cheese, mayo, Dijon mustard, chopped jalapeños, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mash everything together until smooth and creamy.
  3. Assemble the eggs:
    Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the hollowed egg whites. Sprinkle the tops with shredded cheddar cheese.
  4. Garnish & serve:
    Finish them off with a sprinkle of fresh green onions. Serve right away or pop them in the fridge to chill until you’re ready to dig in!
