Pimento Cheese Deviled Eggs

1 dozen eggs
2 oz shredded sharp cheddar
3 oz cream cheese
½ c mayonnaise
1 T mustard
¼ t cayenne pepper
½ fresh jalapeno, seeded and grated on a microplane
Salt and pepper to taste
Capers and paprika to garnish

Prepare a bowl of ice and water. Place a steamer basket in a sauce pan, fill with water until it just shows above the steamer.  Cook over medium high heat until the water simmers, place eggs in basket and steam for 12-15 minutes. When finished steaming, remove from pan and crack the shells just a bit on a hard surface.  Place immediately in a bowl of ice water and let sit for 20 minutes.  Peel the eggs and slice in half lengthwise, removing the yolks to large mixing bowl.  Break up the yolks with a fork and add the cheeses, mayo, mustard, cayenne pepper, jalapeno, salt and pepper.  Mix until smooth.  Spoon or pipe into reserved egg whites, garnish with capers and paprika.  Chill and serve!
