INGREDIENTS
- 6 large eggs
- 3 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped fresh parsley or chives for garnish
INSTRUCTIONS
Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the eggs simmer for about 10 minutes.
Remove the eggs from the heat and transfer them to a bowl of ice water to cool. Let them sit in the ice water for about 5 minutes to ensure they are fully cooled.
Peel the eggs and carefully slice them in half lengthwise. Gently remove the yolks and transfer them to a separate bowl. Set the egg white halves aside.
Mash the egg yolks with a fork until they are crumbled into small pieces.
Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, and paprika to the mashed egg yolks. Mix well until everything is thoroughly combined and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Spoon or pipe the egg yolk mixture into the hollowed-out egg white halves. Fill each egg white generously with the mixture.
Sprinkle the crumbled bacon over the filled deviled eggs.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or chives for added flavor and presentation.
Serve the Deviled Eggs with Bacon chilled as an appetizer or snack. They can be enjoyed immediately or refrigerated until ready to serve.
TIPS
- To cook the bacon, you can pan-fry it until crispy or bake it in the oven until it reaches your desired crispiness. Make sure to drain the bacon on paper towels to remove excess grease before crumbling it.
- Feel free to customize the deviled egg filling by adding other ingredients such as chopped pickles, green onions, or a sprinkle of cayenne pepper for some heat.
- Use a piping bag or a small spoon to fill the egg white halves neatly and evenly with the egg yolk mixture.
- If you want to make the deviled eggs ahead of time, prepare the filling and store it in a piping bag or a sealed container in the refrigerator. Fill the egg white halves with the mixture just before serving to maintain their freshness.
- Serve the Deviled Eggs with Bacon as a tasty appetizer at parties, potlucks, or family gatherings. They also make a great addition to brunch menus.
