These deviled eggs are elevated with crispy bacon and fresh chives, delivering a creamy, crunchy, and smoky flavor perfect for any occasion. Quick and easy to prepare, they are a crowd-pleasing snack or appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
  • 6 slices bacon, cooked until crispy and finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Paprika, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Place 12 large eggs in a single layer in a large pot and cover with cold water, about 1 inch above the eggs. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat (about 10 minutes). Once boiling, cover the pot, remove from heat, and let sit for 12 minutes.
  2. Transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water immediately to cool for 5-10 minutes. Gently tap and peel each egg under running water to avoid tearing whites.
  3. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place 6 slices of bacon on a wire rack over a baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes until crisp. Drain on paper towels and chop finely once cool.
  4. Slice peeled eggs in half lengthwise. Carefully remove yolks and place in a mixing bowl. Mash yolks with a fork or potato masher until smooth.
  5. Add 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper to mashed yolks. Stir until creamy and well combined.
  6. Fold in chopped bacon and 2 tablespoons fresh chives. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  7. Using a spoon or piping bag, fill each egg white half with the yolk mixture. Aim for a neat mound or swirl.
  8. Sprinkle with paprika and a few extra chives on top for color. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

For perfectly smooth filling, push the yolk mixture through a fine mesh sieve before mixing in bacon and chives. Refrigerate deviled eggs uncovered for 30 minutes before serving to let flavors meld. Use older eggs for easier peeling. Oven-bake bacon on a wire rack for even crispiness and less mess. Add variations like cayenne pepper for spice or avocado for creaminess.
