Method

Deviled Eggs Preparation

  1. 1

    Boil the Eggs

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

  2. 2

    Cool and Peel

    After 12 minutes, transfer the eggs to an ice bath for 5 minutes to cool. Once cool, gently tap the eggs to crack the shell and peel under running water.

  3. 3

    Prepare Filling

    Cut the peeled eggs in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and chopped chives to the yolks.

  4. 4

    Mix Filling

    Mash the yolk mixture with a fork until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

  5. 5

    Fill the Egg Whites

    Using a spoon or piping bag, fill the egg white halves with the yolk mixture.

Bacon Topping Preparation

  1. 6

    Cook Bacon

    In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove from skillet and drain on paper towels. Once cooled, crumble into small pieces.

  2. 7

    Top Deviled Eggs

    Sprinkle the crumbled bacon evenly over the filled deviled eggs.

Balsamic Reduction Preparation

  1. 8

    Prepare Balsamic Reduction

    In a small saucepan, combine balsamic vinegar and honey. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.

  2. 9

    Reduce

    Allow the mixture to simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until it reduces by half and thickens slightly. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.

  3. 10

    Cool and Serve

    Remove from heat and let the balsamic reduction cool slightly before drizzling over the deviled eggs just before serving.
