You can bet you’ll be going back for seconds of these pickled jalapeño deviled eggs. It has all that delicious creamy and mustardy flavor you’d expect, and then there’s a pickled tang and delicious jalapeño heat to round our the flavor.

If jalapeños are too spicy for you, you can opt for pickled banana peppers or pepperoncini instead. Their heat is only a mild simmer compared to that of a jalapeño. Plus, all three are common options in pickle aisles of most well-stocked supermarkets, so no matter what it’s easy to source.
