Ingredients

  • 12 large eggs

Instructions

  1. Hard-boil the eggs

    • Bring to a boil, then cover and remove from heat.
    • Let sit 10–12 minutes.
    • Transfer to ice water, peel once cool.
  2. Prep the filling
    • Slice eggs in half lengthwise.
    • Remove yolks and mash until smooth.
    • Mix in mayo, cream cheese, Dijon, pepper jelly, and salt.
  3. Fill the eggs

🔥 Heat Control Tips

  • Mild: use mostly sweet pepper jelly
  • Medium: sweet & spicy jelly + pinch of cayenne
  • Hot: mix in minced pickled jalapeños or hot pepper jelly

💡 Party Pro Moves

  • Make the filling a day ahead (store separately).
  • Fill eggs 1–2 hours before serving for best texture.
  • Serve slightly chilled—not ice cold—for max flavor.
