Ingredients

Scale

  • 6 large eggs

  • 4 strips thick-cut bacon, cooked and crumbled

  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise

  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar

  • Pinch of salt

  • Pinch of black pepper

  • Smoked paprika, for garnish

  • Fresh chopped chives, optional

Instructions

  • Cook the Eggs
    Place eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover with cold water by about 1 inch.
    Bring to a rolling boil over high heat.

  • Steam-Finish the Eggs
    Once boiling, remove the pan from heat, cover, and let eggs sit 10–12 minutes.

  • Cool in an Ice Bath
    Drain the hot water and transfer eggs to an ice bath for 5 minutes to stop cooking.

  • Peel & Slice
    Peel the eggs, then slice each egg in half lengthwise.
    Gently remove yolks and place whites on a serving platter.

  • Make the Filling
    Mash yolks with a fork until smooth.
    Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper.
    Mix until creamy and well-blended.

  • Add the Bacon
    Stir most of the crumbled bacon into the filling, reserving some for topping.

  • Fill the Egg Whites
    Spoon or pipe filling into the egg white halves.

  • Garnish
    Top with reserved bacon, a sprinkle of smoked paprika, and chives if using.

  • Chill Before Serving
    Refrigerate for 30 minutes for the flavors to fully develop.

Notes

  • Use slightly older eggs — they peel easier than very fresh eggs.

  • For extra creaminess, add 1–2 teaspoons of sour cream or cream cheese.

  • For candied bacon flavor, sprinkle bacon with brown sugar before baking.

  • Pipe the filling using a star tip for a professional presentation.

  • Make ahead: Prep up to 24 hours in advance and store covered in the fridge.
