Ingredients
Scale
Eggs
- 6 hard-boiled eggs, cooled and peeled
Filling
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon sweet pickle juice
- 1 tablespoon butter, room temperature or softened
- 2 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 teaspoon mustard
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Garnish
- Paprika, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the eggs: Slice the hard-boiled eggs in half lengthwise and carefully remove the yolks. Place the yolks in a medium mixing bowl.
- Make the filling: Add mayonnaise, sweet pickle juice, butter, crumbled bacon, mustard, salt, and pepper to the bowl with the yolks. Mix until the filling is smooth and creamy. For an extra-smooth texture, push the mixture through a sieve.
- Fill the egg whites: Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves evenly.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with paprika and optionally garnish with fresh herbs or additional crumbled bacon for added flavor.
- Storage: Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to enjoy. Deviled eggs are best served chilled.
Notes
- For an ultra-smooth filling, pressing the mixture through a fine sieve is recommended.
- Use fresh, high-quality eggs for best results.
- Cook bacon until crisp to add a crunchy texture to the filling.
- Can be garnished with parsley, chives, or additional bacon crumbles for extra flavor.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 2 days.
