You'll think these eggs really do have a bit of devil's heat in them. For a milder version, remove the ribs and seeds from the jalapeno. —Linda Ross, Williamsport, Pennsylvania

Ingredients

  • 12 hard-boiled large eggs
  • 6 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro, divided
  • 6 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons grated lime zest
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper

Directions

  1. Cut eggs in half lengthwise. Remove yolks; set whites aside. In a small bowl, mash yolks. Add 3 tablespoons cilantro, mayonnaise, onions, sour cream, jalapeno, lime zest, cumin, salt and pepper; mix well. Stuff or pipe into egg whites. Refrigerate until serving. Garnish with remaining cilantro.
Peppers (Hot)
Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.
