Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce (adjust to taste)
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika (for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon chives, finely chopped (for garnish)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
Place the eggs in a single layer in a medium-sized saucepan. Add enough water to cover the eggs by about 1 inch.
Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat. Once boiling, turn off the heat, cover the saucepan, and let the eggs sit in the hot water for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, transfer the eggs to a large bowl of ice water. Let them cool for 5-10 minutes to stop the cooking process.
Peel the cooled eggs carefully and slice each egg in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and place them in a medium mixing bowl. Set the egg whites aside on a serving platter.
Mash the yolks with a fork until smooth. Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, hot sauce, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix until the filling becomes creamy and well combined.
Taste the filling and adjust seasoning or add more hot sauce for extra heat if desired.
Using a spoon or a piping bag with a star tip, evenly distribute the yolk mixture into the hollowed egg whites.
Sprinkle the deviled eggs with paprika and garnish with chopped chives for added flavor and a pop of color.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 1 day before serving (covered).
