Ingredients
-
6 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
-
1/4 cup mayonnaise
-
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
-
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
-
1 tablespoon sweet pepper jelly (store-bought or homemade)
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
-
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional, for garnish)
-
1 tablespoon finely chopped green onions (optional, for garnish)
-
Additional pepper jelly for drizzling (optional)
Instructions
-
Slice the hard-boiled eggs in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and place them in a bowl.

Mash the yolks with a fork until smooth. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, sweet pepper jelly, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the filling is creamy and well-combined.
-
Spoon or pipe the filling back into the egg whites. If you prefer a more decorative presentation, you can use a piping bag fitted with a star tip.
-
Optional: Drizzle additional pepper jelly over the top of the deviled eggs for extra sweetness and spice.
-
Garnish with smoked paprika and chopped green onions, if desired.
-
Refrigerate the deviled eggs for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.
Notes
-
You can adjust the level of heat by adding more or less pepper jelly based on your preference.
-
For extra crunch, consider adding a small amount of finely chopped jalapeños or bell peppers to the filling.
