Yield: 24 deviled eggs
Ingredients
- 12 large eggs
- 4 slices bacon
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons finely shredded Cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon mustard
Directions
- Place the eggs into a large saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once the water reaches a boil, remove the pan from the heat, cover with a lid, and let the eggs sit in the hot water for 10 to 12 minutes.
- Drain the hot water and rinse the eggs under cold running water until completely cooled.
- Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat until crispy, turning occasionally for even cooking. Transfer the bacon to paper towels to drain, then crumble into small pieces.
- Peel the cooled eggs and slice them in half lengthwise. Carefully remove the yolks and place them into a mixing bowl.
- Add the mayonnaise, shredded Cheddar cheese, mustard, and crumbled bacon to the egg yolks. Mash and stir until the filling is smooth and creamy.
- Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture into the egg white halves.
- Serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve.
Chefs Notes
- For extra flavor, sprinkle additional bacon crumbles or shredded cheddar cheese over the top before serving.
- Use a piping bag or zip-top bag with the corner snipped off for a cleaner presentation.
- These deviled eggs can be made several hours ahead and stored covered in the refrigerator.
- Add a pinch of paprika or chopped chives for extra color and flavor.
