Rich and creamy deviled eggs with bacon are a simple yet satisfying appetizer that everyone will love. I used to be intimidated by making deviled eggs, but now I’ve got some tips and tricks up my sleeve to make sure my deviled eggs come out perfect every time. Serve your deviled eggs along with other party favorites such as sausage cheese balls and caprese skewers!
Bacon Deviled Eggs Ingredients
To make these bacon deviled eggs you will need hard boiled eggs, mayonnaise, cream, yellow mustard, smoked paprika, cooked bacon, fresh chives, salt and black pepper. Bacon deviled eggs is one of my favorite party appetizer recipes along with grape jelly meatballs, cheese ball bites and bacon wrapped dates. Be the hit of your party or potluck with these appetizers!
How Do You Make Bacon Deviled Eggs?
The first step to this bacon deviled eggs recipe is to boil eggs in a large pot. Next, peel the boiled eggs and cut them in half lengthwise. Separate the whites and yolks. Place the yolks in a food processor and add mayo, cream, mustard, salt and pepper. Process the yolks until smooth. Scoop the egg yolk filling into a piping bag and pipe the mixture into each egg white. Sprinkle smoked paprika over the eggs. Top the eggs with crumbles of bacon and sliced fresh chives. Serve and enjoy!
Tips For The Perfect Eggs
I cook a few more eggs than necessary so if I have any issues with peeling, I’ve got some backups for my bacon deviled eggs. The easiest way to fill a deviled egg is with a pastry bag. Don’t just spoon in the yolk mash, 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. I like to use a submerged, color changing egg timer that shows when the eggs are boiled. For the holidays serve these eggs at parties with some of my favorite drink recipes like a pomegranate margarita, Christmas sangria, a poinsettia cocktail or a cranberry Moscow mule.
Flavor 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 or use a spicy Dijon mustard instead of yellow mustard. 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!
