    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    Seems to me that Deviled Eggs make party appearances at least 75% of the time. Well, now they're bringing friends, Candied Bacon and Jalapeño, I say...any friend of theirs is a friend of mine! Despite being the author of this post, I certainly can't take credit for the recipe. This was 100% my wife's doing. I've always thought her deviled eggs were the best, but when she presented a Jalapeño Deviled Eggs with Candied Bacon Recipe, I said Uh, YEAH!

    Why You'll Love This Recipe

    You really can't go wrong with deviled eggs at any get-together. It could be any major holiday, a summer BBQ, or a small gathering. No matter what, everyone will be happy you brought these. They'll be even happier when they bite into a burst of flavors not commonly found in deviled eggs.

    Ingredients

    Meat: Bacon

    Eggs: Just some plain store-bought eggs will do.

    Vegetables: Pickled Jalapeños and Green onions.

    Liquids: Mayonnaise, Yellow Mustard, Pickled Jalapeño Juice, and Maple Syrup.

    Herbs and Spices: Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Kosher Salt, Ground Black Pepper, Paprika, Dark Brown Sugar, and Cayenne.

    See the recipe card below for full information on ingredients and quantities.

    Step-by-Step Instructions

    This recipe for candied bacon is super easy.

    Start by preheating your oven on convection bake at 380°f. Convection circulates the air around the oven, giving a nice, even cook, the same functionality as an air fryer.

    Next, spray or brush cooking oil on a broiler pan and lay out four strips of thick-cut bacon.

    Now, brush each strip of bacon with maple syrup and sprinkle with dark brown sugar.

    Pop the pan in the oven for about 9 minutes or until the bacon starts to crisp up.

    Remove the pan using mini tongs, flip the bacon over, and repeat the maple syrup and dark brown sugar on this side of the bacon strips.

    Lastly, place the pan back in the oven and continue baking for another 6-7 minutes or until the edges look caramelized.

    Making Jalapeño Deviled Eggs with Candied Bacon is super quick and easy! In fact, it's no different than any other Deviled egg recipe in its process—just one different but very important ingredient: pickled jalapeños.

    Start by boiling the eggs.

    Place the eggs in a large pot, fill them with cold water, and boil them. Cover and remove from the heat once the water has begun to boil.

    Allow the eggs to sit for 12 minutes, drain the hot water, and transfer the eggs to a separate dish with ice-cold water.

    Let the eggs rest and cool in the ice bath for 10 minutes.

    Next, peel the eggs, cut them in half, and with a small spoon, scoop out the yolks, adding them to a large mixing bowl.

    Add the remaining ingredients and mix it all up using a regular fork or whisk.

    Last, transfer the mixture to a piping tool or a plastic bag with the corner removed and pipe the mixture into each egg half.

    Garnish the tops with a sprinkle of paprika, sliced green onion, and a piece of candied bacon.

    BOOM! There you have it...Jalapeño Deviled Eggs with Candied Bacon!

    ENJOY!

      I'm going to have to give your recipe a try, cousin! I had deviled eggs like these at a place in KC and made my own with a twist of making the bacon with jalapeño powderin addition to the brown sugar.

        Oh that sounds great!! These are also really good. I should try to add the Jalapeño powder to the bacon as well. Make them double jalapeño!
