A quick and easy recipe for creamy deviled eggs enhanced with crispy bacon and fresh chives, perfect for parties and snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
  • 4 slices bacon, cooked until crispy and chopped
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Paprika (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Place 6 large eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water about an inch above the eggs. Bring water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, then cover the pan and remove it from heat. Let the eggs sit for 12 minutes.
  2. Transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water and let cool for at least 5 minutes. Gently tap and peel the eggs under running water. Pat dry with a paper towel.
  3. Cook 4 slices of bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy (about 6-8 minutes). Transfer to paper towels to drain and chop into small pieces once cooled.
  4. Slice eggs in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out yolks into a mixing bowl. Mash yolks with a fork until crumbly. Add 3 tablespoons mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper to taste. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
  5. Fold in chopped bacon and 2 tablespoons fresh chives gently. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Spoon or pipe the filling back into the egg whites evenly.
  6. Sprinkle a pinch of paprika on top of each egg for color and a subtle smoky touch. Chill in the fridge for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use the covered-off-heat method to boil eggs to avoid green rings around yolks. Cook bacon slowly over medium heat for even crispiness. If filling is too thick, add a drop of milk or more mayo. Hard-boil eggs the night before for convenience. Piping bags give a cleaner finish but spoons work fine.
