Print Recipe

A quick and easy recipe for deviled eggs featuring crispy bacon and fresh chives folded into a creamy, tangy yolk filling. Perfect for parties, potlucks, or casual snacking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large eggs (preferably free-range)
  • 6 slices thick-cut bacon
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Smoked paprika (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Place 12 large eggs in a single layer in a large pot. Cover with cold water by about 1 inch. Bring water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, then cover the pot, turn off the heat, and let eggs sit for 12 minutes.
  2. Transfer eggs immediately to a bowl of ice water. Let cool for at least 10 minutes. Gently tap each egg on the counter and peel under running water. Pat dry with paper towels.
  3. While eggs cool, lay 6 thick-cut bacon slices in a cold skillet. Cook over medium heat, flipping occasionally, until crispy (about 8-10 minutes). Drain on paper towels, then crumble into small pieces.
  4. Slice eggs in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out yolks into a medium bowl. Mash yolks with a fork until crumbly.
  5. Add 1/3 cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, and 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar to yolks. Stir until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Fold in crumbled bacon and chopped fresh chives, reserving a pinch of chives for garnish.
  7. Transfer yolk mixture to a piping bag or plastic bag with a corner snipped off. Pipe filling into egg white halves, mounding slightly.
  8. Sprinkle with smoked paprika and reserved chives. Chill in the fridge for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use an ice bath to cool eggs quickly for easier peeling. Start cooking bacon in a cold pan to render fat slowly and achieve even crispiness. If filling is too thick, add a teaspoon of mayo or a splash of milk to loosen. Avoid overcooking eggs to prevent dry yolks and difficult peeling. Prepare eggs a day ahead and assemble on serving day for best texture.
