Deviled Eggs Recipe

Boil the Eggs

Place the eggs in a pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then cover and remove from heat. Let sit for 12 minutes.

Cool and Peel

After 12 minutes, transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool for about 5 minutes. Once cooled, gently tap the eggs to crack the shell and peel them.

Prepare the Filling

Slice the peeled eggs in half lengthwise and remove the yolks. In a bowl, mash the yolks with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until smooth.

Fill the Egg Whites

Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves.

Garnish

Top the filled eggs with crumbled crispy bacon, chopped chives, and a sprinkle of paprika.
