• Yield: 24 deviled eggs
• Difficulty: Easy
• Total*: 1 hr
• Active**: 40 mins

Ingredients (16)

• 12 large eggs
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons minced shallots covered with lemon juice and soaked till pink then drained dry
• 1 tablespoon Tabasco
• 2 tablespoons minced chives
• 1 tablespoon minced parsley
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
• Salt
• 6 slices thin-cut bacon, cooked till very crispy
• 4 slices aged provolone cut into 6 triangles
• 24 slices of pickled jalapeño
• Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon minced parsley
• 1 tablespoon minced chives
• Sea salt
• Cracked black pepper

Instructions

1. Start by bringing 4 quarts of water to a rapid boil, then gently lower 12 large eggs into the water and return to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes, and remove one egg to test for doneness. The yolks should be just cooked through.
2. Remove the eggs from the water and let them cool under running water till cold. Then, peel the eggs, and remove a small slice from either end (just enough to make them stand upright) and save the white bits in a bowl. Cut the eggs in half through the equator, and remove the yolks, placing them in the bowl with the slices of whites.
3. Use a whisk to break up the whites and yolks with a stabbing motion, making them about the size of large peas. Add in enough mayo so the yolks are creamy but still hold a shape.
4. Add the rest of the ingredients to the bowl, including the soaked shallots, Tabasco, chives, parsley, cayenne, a pinch of salt, and any additional seasoning, as desired. Mix well.
5. Fill the egg white halves generously, making sure the filling is about 1/4 to 1/2 inch above the top of the whites. (You may have some filling left over.)
6. Top each egg with a slice of jalapeño, followed by two inch pieces of bacon, and a slice of provolone.
7. Warm in a 450°F oven until the cheese just starts to melt, then transfer to a serving platter and garnish all the eggs with the remaining ingredients.
