Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces large eggs
- 4 slices bacon
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chives or green onions (finely chopped)
Instructions
Place the eggs in a single layer in a medium-sized pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once the water boils, turn off the heat and cover the pot. Let the eggs sit for 10 minutes to cook through.
While the eggs are cooking, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, then crumble the bacon once cooled.
After 10 minutes, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool them quickly. Let them sit in the cold water for at least 5 minutes.
Peel the eggs carefully and slice them in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and place them in a small mixing bowl. Set the egg whites aside on a serving plate.
Mash the yolks with a fork until finely crumbled. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, hot sauce, paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Gently fold in half of the crumbled bacon into the yolk mixture.
Transfer the yolk mixture to a piping bag or use a spoon to evenly fill the cavities of the egg whites.
Top each devilled egg with the remaining crumbled bacon and a sprinkle of chopped chives or green onions.
Serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve (up to 4 hours for best results).
