A classic deviled eggs recipe elevated with a creamy, tangy filling and crispy bacon crumbles for a smoky, salty crunch. Perfect for quick snacks or entertaining.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, hard boiled and peeled
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise (60 ml)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 4 slices thick-cut bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
  • Smoked paprika (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Place 6 large eggs in a single layer in a pot. Cover with cold water about 1 inch above the eggs. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the pot, remove from heat, and let sit for 10-12 minutes.
  2. Drain the hot water and transfer eggs to an ice bath for 5 minutes to stop cooking. Gently tap and peel each egg under cold running water.
  3. While eggs cool, cook 4 slices of thick-cut bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp (about 6-8 minutes). Drain on paper towels, then crumble finely.
  4. Slice peeled eggs in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out yolks into a mixing bowl. Mash with a fork or hand mixer until smooth.
  5. Stir in 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon white vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste. Mix until silky and well combined. Adjust seasoning if needed.
  6. Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves evenly.
  7. Sprinkle the crispy bacon crumbles generously over each filled egg. Add a pinch of smoked paprika if desired.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to let flavors meld and filling set slightly.

Notes

Use eggs that are at least a week old for easier peeling. For extra creamy filling, use a hand mixer or food processor. Cook bacon just before filling eggs to keep it crispy. Piping bags give a prettier presentation but a spoon works fine. Store deviled eggs covered in the fridge for up to 2 days; avoid freezing.
