Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
  • 6 slices thick-cut bacon, cooked until crispy and crumbled
  • 4 ounces full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Smoked paprika, for garnish
  • Fresh chives, finely chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. Place 12 large eggs in a single layer in a medium saucepan. Cover with cold water about 1 inch above the eggs. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
  2. Once boiling, cover the pot, turn off the heat, and let sit for 12 minutes.
  3. Immediately transfer eggs to an ice bath to stop cooking and make peeling easier. After 10 minutes, gently tap and peel the eggs under cool running water. Pat dry with paper towels.
  4. While eggs cool, cook 6 slices of thick-cut bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy (about 8 minutes). Drain on paper towels and crumble once cool enough to handle. Set aside.
  5. Slice peeled eggs in half lengthwise. Carefully remove yolks and place in a mixing bowl. Mash yolks with a fork until crumbly.
  6. Add 4 ounces softened cream cheese, 3 tablespoons mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  7. Reserve a tablespoon of crumbled bacon for garnish, then stir the rest into the yolk mixture.
  8. Using a spoon or piping bag, fill each egg white half generously with the creamy yolk and bacon mixture.
  9. Sprinkle smoked paprika and reserved bacon pieces on top. Finish with finely chopped fresh chives.
  10. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld before serving.

Notes

Use softened cream cheese for a smooth filling. Peeling eggs under running water helps remove shells easily. Chill filled eggs for at least 30 minutes to firm up the filling and blend flavors. Crispy bacon is essential for texture contrast. For dairy-free, substitute cream cheese with mashed avocado.
