The beauty of these little soufflés is their resilience. You can make them a day ahead, toss them in the fridge, and then just reheat them when your guests arrive. People aren't usually served mini-soufflés, so they will be charmed. Indeed you might find yourself reaching frequently for those mini muffin tins.
If your jalapeño lacks bite (as so many do these days), just reach for a pickled jalapeño, either your own homemade version or your favorite store-bought brand. I always keep a jar on the door of the fridge to toss into those dishes that need a little perking up.
