A creamy and easy deviled eggs recipe featuring crispy bacon and fresh chives for a perfect appetizer that’s quick to prepare and crowd-pleasing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
  • ⅓ cup mayonnaise (80 ml)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • 6 slices bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped
  • Smoked paprika (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Place eggs in a single layer in a large pot and cover with cold water by an inch or two. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the pot, turn off heat, and let eggs sit for 12 minutes.
  2. Immediately transfer eggs to an ice bath to stop cooking and make peeling easier. After at least 5 minutes, gently crack and peel eggs under cold running water.
  3. Cook bacon until crispy—either in a skillet over medium heat or baked in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 15 minutes. Drain on paper towels and crumble once cool.
  4. Slice eggs in half lengthwise. Carefully remove yolks and place them in a mixing bowl. Arrange whites on a serving platter.
  5. Mash yolks with a fork or potato masher until crumbly. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Mix well until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  6. Reserve a small amount of bacon and chives for garnish. Gently fold the rest into the yolk mixture, preserving some texture.
  7. Transfer filling to a piping bag or zip-top bag. Pipe or spoon the mixture into the egg white halves, creating a neat mound.
  8. Sprinkle with reserved bacon, chives, and a pinch of smoked paprika if desired. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

Use slightly older eggs (about a week old) for easier peeling. Baking bacon on a wire rack reduces grease and crisps evenly. If filling is too thick, add a teaspoon of milk or sour cream to loosen. Store deviled eggs covered in the refrigerator and consume within 2 days. Avoid freezing. Let chilled eggs sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving for best flavor.
