I made these for a family gathering a few weeks ago after reading the recipe on here. Everyone loved them. I only used the jalapeno pepper because that is all I had on hand at the time. We had another family gathering a few days ago and I was asked to make them again so this time I used the habanero also and they really liked them. I have a feeling that I will be making these for every family gathering now.
These were very good and definitely a different twist to the deviled egg. I only used jalapeno peppers only because I didn't have a habanero but next time I will add that also. With the addition of that pepper these are going to be HOT because they had a strong zip to them just with the jalapeno. I did add a bit more mayo than suggested and I think it made it too loose if you were going to pipe these through a tip. I will make these again they are nice change from the classic deviled egg recipe of my own. Thanks for sharing (:
Made these for family dinner and they went in minutes! Everybody loved them even the 2 year olr (ours weren't too hot not sure if our peppers were a little tame). Great recipe!!:)
Delicious but I left out the jalapeno because we didn't have any. The 1/4 habanero I used was plenty. The little fiery bits are the perfect kick. EDITED 1/15/09: I am addicted now and buy eggs just to make this. I don't even share. I am using more and more habanero each time and tried a little jalapeno this time.
For you spice lovers... this recipe is great... I make these all the time as an appetizer... people love them! Thanks! Guess what Im doing with my easter eggs?? lol
I got this same recipe from a friend about a year ago-I had NEVER had a deviled egg before, I just didn't think I would like it. BUT-I tried one of these and was HOOKED! I still don't think I would like a regular plain deviled egg, but I buy eggs just to make these, they're FANTASTIC! I make it with the exact recipe as written, but use a spicy brown mustard instead of yellow.
Great change from the ordinary deviled egg recipes out there. Nice kick from the jalapeno and habanero peppers. P.S. I can't stand it when others rate a recipe and they omit a key ingredient and/or change it. Seriously, would you bash a steak recipe if you omitted the steak? Of course it will taste bland if you leave out one of the key ingredients. For those of us who love heat, I'm going to try adding another jalapeno next time just to kick it up a bit more. Thank you for the great recipe Eric.
These turned out really good and were a nice change from the ordinary ones. I de-seeded the jalapeno out of fear they'd be too hot but I should have left them in as the recipe called for. Thank you for this different variety and I will definitely makes these again!
I omitted the habanero pepper simply because after buying one it disappeared. Anyhow that must be the important key to this recipe because I found it very bland. I tried a little more paprika that helped. I think 1 tablespoon of mustard instead of 1 teaspoon would greatly improve this recipe. This recipe did not impress me. I won't be using this recipe in the future.
