These creamy deviled eggs with crispy bacon and fresh chives are a quick and easy appetizer that balances silky filling with smoky crunch and bright flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise (120 ml)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 6 slices thick-cut bacon, cooked crispy and chopped finely
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped
  • Smoked paprika (optional, for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Place 12 large eggs in a single layer in a saucepan. Cover with cold water about 1 inch above the eggs. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, then cover the pot and remove from heat. Let sit for exactly 12 minutes.
  2. Transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water and let cool for at least 5 minutes. Gently tap each egg on a hard surface and peel off the shell. Rinse to remove any shell bits.
  3. While eggs cool, cook 6 slices of thick-cut bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy (about 6–8 minutes). Drain on paper towels and chop finely once cooled.
  4. Slice each egg in half lengthwise. Using a small spoon, carefully scoop out the yolks into a mixing bowl, placing the whites on a serving platter.
  5. Mash yolks with a fork or whisk. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Whip until smooth and creamy (2–3 minutes by hand or 1 minute with a mixer).
  6. Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves, creating a smooth, slightly heaping mound.
  7. Sprinkle chopped crispy bacon and fresh chives evenly over the filled eggs. Add a dash of smoked paprika if desired.

Notes

Use eggs that are at least a week old for easier peeling. Add bacon and chives just before serving to keep them crispy and fresh. If filling is too thick, add a teaspoon of milk or more mayo to loosen. Avoid overcooking eggs to prevent chalky yolks.
