I’m going to be honest and tell you that for the longest time, deviled eggs scared me. How could I possibly boil a bunch of eggs, peel them neatly, and add the filling in the middle without it looking like my 4 year old did it? Over time I’ve come up with ways to make sure these bacon deviled eggs come out perfect every time. No one can resist the combination of bacon and eggs, especially in appetizer form!

How do you make bacon deviled eggs?

The first step to this recipe is to boil the eggs. I typically do this a day in advance to save time on party day. The whites and yolks are separated, then the yolks get seasoned and pureed to creamy perfection. The yolk mixture is piped back into the eggs, then topped with bacon and chives. These are the best deviled eggs that I’ve ever had, and they always get rave reviews!

Tips for perfect deviled eggs

  • The most crucial component to perfect deviled eggs is to have perfectly boiled eggs to start with. I use this technique from the Pioneer Woman and it’s always worked great! Also, I cook a few more eggs than necessary so if I have any issues with peeling, I’ve got some backups.
  • The easiest way to fill a deviled egg is with a pastry bag. I use a disposable pastry bag with a large star tip for perfect looking egg filling.
  • If you don’t have a pastry bag, simply use a gallon sized plastic bag with one corner snipped off as a makeshift pastry bag.
  • For the best deviled egg filling, use a food processor to puree everything to a silky smooth consistency.

Deviled egg variations

There are so many different ways to flavor deviled eggs, I love to mix up the recipe depending on my mood and the ingredients I have on hand.

  • Pickles: Add 2 tablespoons finely chopped pickles or pickle relish to the filling.
  • Prosciutto: Use crispy prosciutto bits instead of bacon.
  • Dill: Swap out the dill for chives.
  • Spicy: Add a few teaspoons of sriracha to the filling.
  • Cheese: Add 1/4 cup finely grated cheddar cheese to the filling.

Deviled eggs are one of those traditional recipes that are universally loved, and when you add bacon to the mix you end up with a snack that’s sure to be a huge hit! These eggs can be made up to 1 day before you plan to serve them. If you’re making your eggs in advance, add the bacon right before serving.

Ingredients

  • 12 hard boiled eggs peeled and cut in half
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 2 teaspoons yellow mustard
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 4 slices bacon cooked and crumbled
  • 1/4 cup minced chives

Instructions

  • Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Place the yolks in the bowl of a food processor and place the whites on a serving tray.
  • Add the mayonnaise, heavy cream, mustard and salt and pepper to the food processor; process until smooth.
  • Place the egg yolk mixture in a piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe the filling into the cavity of each white.
  • Sprinkle smoked paprika over the eggs. Top with bacon and chives and serve.

Notes

  1. Try this technique for perfectly boiled eggs that are easy to peel.
  2. Don't have a piping bag? Use a gallon sized freezer bag with one corner snipped off.
  3. Keep your bacon crumbles small so that they'll stick to the filling better.

      Deviled eggs are my weakness- anytime I see anyone makes it at party or it’s on a menu I must have! I’ll have to make the bacon version for my son and daugther. – since I don’t eat pork. However this recipe look phenomenal!

      This looks yummy. I’m trying to stay away from bacon though. Maybe once in a while isn’t a bad thing. :0)

      Just when I thought I could not love deviled eggs any more than I already do, you add bacon into the mix. These would be a hit with our entire family for sure. Yum!
