Deviled Eggs With a Kick! image

Really good deviled eggs with just a little heat. If you like them hotter, simply add more diced jalapeno. The thyme and lemon zest come through with the hot smoked paprika, and the cheese and mustard make these eggs something special. (cooking time is for boiling eggs)
