5 hard-boiled eggs, halved lengthwise

1 T. minced scallion, white and light green parts

1 large jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced

Juice from 1 lime

1 T. mayonnaise

1/2 tsp. kosher salt, or to taste

Red chili flakes for garnish

 

Remove the yolks from the whites. Set the whites aside. Mash the yolks in a bowl with a fork. Add the scallion, jalapeno, lime juice, mayonnaise, and salt. Add more mayonnaise to reach desired consistency. Mash with a fork until blended. Using a tsp., carefully stuff whites with yolk mixture, mounding the tops. For extra heat, garnish with red chili flakes.  Variation:  Add 1 whole mashed avocado to the egg yolk mixture.
