Description

These Irresistible Million Dollar Bacon Deviled Eggs combine creamy, tangy yolks with smoky crumbled bacon for a decadent appetizer perfect for parties, potlucks, or casual snacking. The eggs are hard-boiled to perfection, filled with a luscious mixture of mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and a hint of sugar, then topped with crunchy bacon and smoked paprika for extra flavor and visual appeal.

Ingredients

Scale

Eggs and Filling

  • 6 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • Pinch of salt
  • Pinch of black pepper

Bacon and Garnishes

  • 4 strips thick-cut bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • Smoked paprika for garnish
  • Fresh chives, chopped, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Boil the eggs: Place eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat.
  2. Cook off-heat: Once boiling, immediately remove the pan from heat, cover it, and let the eggs stand for 10-12 minutes to finish cooking gently.
  3. Cool eggs: Drain the hot water and transfer eggs to an ice bath for 5 minutes to stop cooking and make peeling easier.
  4. Peel and halve: Carefully peel the cooled eggs and slice each in half lengthwise, separating whites and yolks.
  5. Prepare yolk mixture: Scoop yolks into a medium bowl and mash with a fork until smooth. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper and mix until creamy and well combined.
  6. Add bacon: Stir in most of the crumbled bacon, reserving some for topping.
  7. Fill egg whites: Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves evenly.
  8. Garnish and chill: Sprinkle the reserved bacon, smoked paprika, and optional chopped chives over the filled eggs. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.

Notes

  • Using thick-cut bacon adds a nice texture and smoky flavor to the filling.
  • Letting the eggs rest in hot water off the heat prevents overcooking and green rings around yolks.
  • Chilling the deviled eggs before serving enhances the flavor and makes them easier to slice.
  • You can pipe the filling using a piping bag for a cleaner presentation.
  • Make sure eggs are fully cooled before peeling to avoid tearing the whites.
