Time 30m

Yield 2 dozen, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 dozen hard-boiled large egg, peeled
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons finely minced pickled jalapeno peppers, drained
2 tablespoons chipotle chiles in adobo
1/2 teaspoon emeril's southwest seasoning, recipe follows
1 pinch salt
1/4 teaspoon smoked hot paprika, for garnish

Steps:

Slice the eggs in half lengthwise and carefully remove the yolks. Press the yolks through a fine-mesh sieve into a mixing bowl. Add the mayonnaise, jalapenos, chipotle in adobo, Southwest Essence, and salt to taste. Stir to blend well. Spoon (or pipe with a pastry bag) the mixture into the egg whites. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour. Sprinkle with the paprika just before serving. (If the paprika is added too early it will stain the eggs.)

2 tablespoons paprika
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
