Southwestern Deviled Eggs – classic deviled eggs with a southwestern twist! Pickled jalapenos and cumin give them the perfect spice.

More eggs, y’all!

I made a bunch of deviled egg recipes one day before my husband left (best day of his life) and this was his favorite. He loves everything spicy so of course I knew he would love it.

I did not, however, expect him to kill the whole batch within 30 minutes.

It’s a pretty basic deviled egg recipe but you add a bunch of minced pickled jalapenos and then top it with another jalapeno slice. If you’re looking for a way to spice up your eggs, this is perfect!

Tips for Hard Boiled Eggs

I always hated peeling eggs until I started making them in my pressure cooker. They peel with almost no effort if you cook them in the pressure cooker!

I do 5 minutes at high pressure, 5 minutes natural release, and then immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water. Peel them as soon as they’re cool enough to handle.

How Long Are Deviled Eggs Good For?

Deviled eggs are best the day they are made but they’ll stay good for up to 2 days if stored in the refrigerator. I would store them in something like this deviled egg tray to keep as much as out as possible.

If you need to prep the eggs ahead of time, I would keep the filling in an airtight container separate from the whites until you are getting ready to serve them.
