A quick and easy appetizer featuring creamy, tangy deviled egg filling with crispy bacon and fresh chives for a perfect balance of savory and fresh flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, hard-boiled, peeled, and cooled
  • 4–5 bacon strips, cooked crispy and chopped
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: pinch of smoked paprika
  • Optional: pinch of garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Place 6 large eggs in a single layer in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by about an inch. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, turn off the heat, cover the pan, and let the eggs sit for 10-12 minutes.
  2. Transfer the eggs immediately to a bowl of ice water for at least 5 minutes. Gently tap and roll each egg on the counter to crack the shell, then peel under running water.
  3. Cook 4-5 strips of bacon in a frying pan over medium heat until crisp, about 8 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain and cool, then chop into small bits.
  4. Slice peeled eggs in half lengthwise and carefully remove yolks into a mixing bowl. Mash yolks with a fork until crumbly.
  5. Add 3 tablespoons mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon white vinegar, salt, and pepper to taste. Mix until smooth and creamy. Add a teaspoon of water or more mayo if mixture is too thick.
  6. Fold in most of the crispy bacon bits and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives, reserving some for garnish.
  7. Using a spoon or piping bag, fill each egg white half generously with the yolk mixture.
  8. Sprinkle remaining bacon bits, fresh chives, and a pinch of smoked paprika over the top for garnish.

Notes

Use an ice bath immediately after boiling eggs to make peeling easier. Cook bacon just before assembling to keep it crispy. Refrigerate filled eggs for at least 30 minutes before serving to let flavors meld. For dairy-free, use plant-based mayo. Variations include adding sriracha for spice or substituting herbs.
