A bold and spicy twist on classic deviled eggs featuring a creamy, peppery filling topped with crispy bacon crumbles and fresh chives. Perfect for quick snacks or crowd-pleasing appetizers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1–2 teaspoons hot sauce (such as Frank’s RedHot)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 6 strips crispy bacon, cooked and finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Place 12 large eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water by about an inch. Bring water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, then cover the pot, turn off the heat, and let the eggs sit for 12 minutes.
  2. Transfer eggs to an ice bath for 5 minutes to stop cooking and make peeling easier.
  3. Gently tap the eggs on a hard surface to crack the shell, then peel under running water if needed. Slice each egg in half lengthwise.
  4. Carefully scoop out the yolks into a medium mixing bowl, setting the whites on a serving platter.
  5. Mash the yolks with a fork until smooth. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, hot sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until creamy and well combined.
  6. Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves.
  7. Sprinkle the filled eggs generously with crispy bacon crumbles and chopped fresh chives.
  8. Refrigerate the deviled eggs for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use older eggs (about a week old) for easier peeling. Adjust hot sauce to control spice level. Add a teaspoon of milk or more mayonnaise if filling is too thick. Prepare eggs and filling a day ahead and add bacon just before serving to keep it crispy.
