Print Recipe

A quick and creamy snack recipe perfect for two, featuring classic deviled eggs with a loaded filling of bacon bits, pickle relish, and smoked paprika.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs (preferably free-range or organic)
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar or apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped pickle relish
  • 2 tablespoons cooked crisp bacon bits (optional but recommended)
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives or parsley

Instructions

  1. Place 4 large eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water by about an inch. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, then cover, remove from heat, and let sit for 10 minutes.
  2. Immediately transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water and chill for at least 5 minutes. Gently tap the eggs on a hard surface and peel off the shells under running water.
  3. Slice the eggs in half lengthwise and carefully remove the yolks into a medium bowl. Mash the yolks with a fork until crumbly but smooth.
  4. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, vinegar, pickle relish, salt, and pepper to the mashed yolks. Stir until creamy and well combined. Adjust seasoning if needed.
  5. Fold in bacon bits and chopped fresh chives or parsley.
  6. Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves. For a neater look, use a piping bag or a plastic bag with a small corner cut off.
  7. Sprinkle with smoked paprika and an extra pinch of chives or parsley for garnish.
  8. Serve immediately or chill in the fridge for up to 2 hours before serving.

Notes

Use older eggs (about a week old) for easier peeling. If filling is too thick, add a teaspoon of milk or more mayo to loosen. Avoid overcooking eggs to prevent green ring and sulfur smell. Prepare filling and egg whites separately if making ahead.
