A simple yet addictive recipe for creamy deviled eggs topped with crispy bacon and fresh chives, perfect for parties or anytime snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 3 slices crispy bacon, cooked and chopped finely
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Smoked paprika (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Place 6 large eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover with cold water by about 1 inch. Bring water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, then cover the pot and remove from heat. Let eggs sit for 10-12 minutes.
  2. Transfer eggs to an ice bath immediately to stop cooking and make peeling easier. Let cool for at least 5 minutes. Gently tap and peel the eggs, rinsing off any shell bits.
  3. While eggs cool, cook 3 slices of thick-cut bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy (about 6-8 minutes). Drain on paper towels and chop finely. Finely chop 2 tablespoons of fresh chives and set aside.
  4. Slice peeled eggs in half lengthwise and carefully remove yolks into a mixing bowl. Mash yolks with a fork until crumbly. Add 3 tablespoons mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper to taste. Mix until smooth and creamy. If needed, add a teaspoon of water or milk to loosen the texture.
  5. Fold most of the chopped bacon into the yolk mixture, reserving some for garnish. Use a spoon or pastry bag to fill the egg white halves with the creamy yolk filling. Sprinkle with remaining bacon, fresh chives, and a dash of smoked paprika if desired.

Notes

Use older eggs for easier peeling. Cook bacon slowly over medium heat for even crispiness. Prepare eggs a day ahead and add bacon and chives just before serving to keep crispness. Use a pastry bag or zip-top bag for neat filling. For dairy-free or lighter versions, substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt or vegan mayo and omit bacon or use smoked tempeh bits.
