Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
  • 4 slices bacon, cooked until crispy and finely crumbled
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 2 tablespoons chives, finely chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place eggs in a single layer in a large pot and cover with cold water by 1 inch.
  2. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover, turn off heat, and let sit for 10-12 minutes.
  3. Transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water and chill for at least 5 minutes. Peel eggs under cool running water.
  4. While eggs cool, cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Drain on paper towels and crumble.
  5. Slice each egg in half lengthwise. Remove yolks and place in a medium bowl; set whites on a serving tray.
  6. Add mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, vinegar, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika to yolks. Mash and mix until smooth and creamy.
  7. Stir in most of the bacon crumbles and 1 tablespoon chives, reserving some for garnish. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  8. Fill egg white halves with about 1 tablespoon of filling each, using a spoon or piping bag.
  9. Garnish with reserved bacon crumbles, chives, and a pinch of smoked paprika.
  10. Serve chilled or at cool room temperature.

Notes

For best results, use eggs that are about a week old for easier peeling. Chill eggs after boiling to prevent green rings around yolks. Filling can be made a day ahead; fill and garnish just before serving. For vegetarian, omit bacon and top with smoked paprika or crispy onions. These eggs are naturally gluten-free and low-carb.
