Jalapeño Deviled Eggs

### Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon pickled jalapeños, finely chopped (plus extra for garnish)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon paprika (for garnish)
- Fresh cilantro or parsley (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Begin by hard boiling the eggs. Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water, about an inch above the eggs. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once it reaches a boil, cover the pan and remove it from heat. Let the eggs sit for 10-12 minutes.
- After the eggs have cooked, transfer them to a bowl of ice water to cool for at least 5 minutes. Once cooled, peel the eggs and slice them lengthwise in half.
- Carefully remove the yolks from the egg whites and place them in a mixing bowl. Arrange the egg whites on a serving platter.
- Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chopped pickled jalapeños, salt, and pepper to the egg yolks. Mash the mixture with a fork until smooth and well combined.
- Using a spoon or piping bag, generously fill each egg white with the yolk mixture.
- Garnish each deviled egg with additional chopped jalapeños, a sprinkle of paprika, and fresh herbs if desired.
- Refrigerate the deviled eggs for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
