1Tablespoonpickled jalapeno juice
2teaspoonsdijon mustard
1teaspoonsgranulated sugar
¼teaspoonsblack pepper

Instructions
Cut the eggs in half lengthwise and add the yolks to a medium-sized bowl. Mash the yolks with a fork until it forms crumbles.
Add the mayonnaise, cream cheese, pickled jalapenos, jalapeno juice, dijon mustard, sugar, and black pepper to the bowl. Stir and mash until combined and smooth.
Add the bacon and stir it in. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Add the filling back to the egg whites, and fill them with a generous amount of the filling. You will have some filling left over, but that's okay.
Garnish with a fresh jalapeno slice and more crispy bacon, if desired. Serve immediately or chill until serving.
Notes
Filling the eggs is easier with a piping bag and a large round tip.
To make a spicier version, add more jalapenos or sprinkle with cayenne pepper or chipotle powder.
Spread leftover filling on crackers, make a sandwich, or use it as a dip for veggies.
Make sure the bacon is super crispy so it doesn't get soggy.
