Something Extra from Me
For a smoky twist, add a touch of chipotle powder to the yolk mixture. You can also top these eggs with crispy bacon bits or finely chopped pickled jalapeños to amp up the flavor and texture.
Pair these deviled eggs with a crisp, cold beer or a refreshing iced tea to balance the heat.
