A quick and easy recipe for creamy deviled eggs enhanced with crispy bacon and fresh chives, perfect for parties and casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
  • 4–6 slices bacon, cooked until crispy and chopped
  • 2 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped
  • Smoked paprika, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place eggs in a single layer in a large pot and cover with cold water by about an inch (about 3-4 cups). Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, then cover, remove from heat, and let sit for 12 minutes.
  2. Drain hot water and immediately transfer eggs to an ice bath for at least 5 minutes. Gently crack and peel the eggs, then slice them in half lengthwise. Remove yolks carefully and place them in a mixing bowl.
  3. While the eggs boil, cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally. Drain on paper towels and chop into small pieces.
  4. Mash the egg yolks with cream cheese using a fork until smooth. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper. Mix well until creamy and well combined. Fold in half of the chopped bacon and most of the chives, reserving some for garnish.
  5. Using a small spoon or piping bag, fill each egg white half generously with the creamy yolk mixture.
  6. Sprinkle the remaining bacon and chives on top of each egg. Finish with a pinch of smoked paprika for color and subtle smoky notes.

Notes

If the filling feels stiff, add a teaspoon of milk or more mayonnaise to loosen it for easier piping. Chill filled eggs for at least 20 minutes before serving to meld flavors. Use room temperature cream cheese for smoother filling. Fold bacon gently to keep it crunchy. For dairy-free, substitute cream cheese with mashed avocado or vegan cream cheese. For lower-fat, use light cream cheese and reduced-fat mayo.
