Jalapeno Popper Deviled Eggs

Directions

1. 1
   To make the hardboiled eggs: Place eggs in a large pot in a single layer.
2. 2
   Add enough cold water to cover eggs by 2 inches.
3. 3
   Place on a burner over high heat and bring to a rolling boil.
4. 4
   Remove from heat, cover, and allow eggs to cook for 1012 minutes.
5. 5
   I usually sacrifice one egg at the 10-minute mark to check for doneness.
6. 6
   Remove an egg with a slotted spoon, crack, peel, and slice open to make sure egg is cooked through.
7. 7
   Remove eggs from pot and immediately submerge in cold water.
8. 8
   Peel eggs.
9. 9
   I find its easiest to do this by cracking the entire surface of egg gently on a counter and running under water while peeling.
