Ingredients
  

For the Deviled Eggs

  • 6 large large eggs For the deviled egg base.
  • 4 slices thick-cut bacon For added crunch and flavor.
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise Creaminess for the filling.
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard Adds tangy flavor to the filling.
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar For acidity in the filling.
  • to taste salt For seasoning.
  • to taste pepper For seasoning.
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives For flavor and garnish.
  • smoked paprika pinch Optional garnish for flavor and color.

Instructions
 

Cooking the Eggs

  • Place 6 large eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by about 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat, then cover the pot, turn off the heat, and let the eggs sit for 12 minutes.
  • Transfer eggs to an ice-water bath immediately after cooking. Let sit for at least 5 minutes to stop cooking and make peeling easier.

Preparing the Filling

  • While the eggs cool, cook 4 slices of thick-cut bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain and cool, then chop into small pieces.
  • Slice each egg in half lengthwise. Carefully remove yolks and place them in a mixing bowl. Mash yolks with a fork until smooth.
  • Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper to the yolks. Stir until creamy and well combined. Fold in most of the chopped bacon (reserve a bit for garnish) and finely chopped fresh chives.

Assembling

  • Spoon or pipe the creamy mixture back into the egg white halves. Sprinkle with remaining bacon pieces, a pinch of smoked paprika if desired, and extra chives for color and flavor.

Notes

Store filled deviled eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. For longer storage, keep whites and filling separate for up to 4 days, then assemble before serving. Do not microwave; serve chilled or at room temperature.
