These deviled eggs feature creamy yolks mixed with pickled jalapeños and topped with a crispy prosciutto crumble, creating a perfect balance of creamy, tangy, spicy, salty, and crunchy flavors. Ready in under 30 minutes, they make an easy and crowd-pleasing snack for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons pickled jalapeños, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 3–4 slices prosciutto, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Place 6 large eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by about an inch (approximately 240 ml). Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
  2. Once boiling, cover the pan, turn off the heat, and let the eggs sit for 12 minutes to avoid rubbery yolks.
  3. Transfer eggs to an ice bath immediately to stop cooking and cool for about 5 minutes.
  4. Gently tap and peel eggs under running water to remove shells cleanly. Pat dry with paper towels.
  5. While eggs cool, heat a small skillet over medium heat. Tear prosciutto slices into small pieces and cook until crispy, about 3-5 minutes, stirring often.
  6. Drain prosciutto on paper towels and let cool.
  7. Slice eggs in half lengthwise and carefully scoop yolks into a mixing bowl.
  8. Mash yolks with a fork until smooth. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, and finely chopped pickled jalapeños. Stir until creamy and well combined.
  9. Season filling with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  10. Using a spoon or piping bag, fill each egg white half with the yolk mixture, forming a nice mound without overfilling.
  11. Sprinkle crispy prosciutto crumble generously over the filled eggs.
  12. Dust lightly with smoked paprika if using, and finish with chopped fresh chives.
  13. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to let flavors meld. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

Use an ice bath immediately after boiling eggs to ensure tender whites and bright yolks. Crisp prosciutto over medium heat to avoid burning and achieve perfect crunch. Add prosciutto crumble just before serving to maintain crispness. For a lighter filling, substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt. If you don’t have a piping bag, use a sandwich bag with a corner snipped off.
