🛒 Ingredients

For the Eggs:

For the Filling:

3 tablespoons full-fat mayonnaise
1 teaspoon yellow mustard (or Dijon for deeper flavor)
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar or fresh lemon juice
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon onion powder

👩‍🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Hard-Boil the Eggs

Place the eggs in a single layer at the bottom of a saucepan.
Cover completely with cold water (about 1 inch above the eggs).
Bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, cover the pot, remove from heat, and let sit for 10–12 minutes.
Immediately transfer eggs to an ice bath and cool for at least 5 minutes.

💡 Tip: Cooling quickly prevents overcooking and helps avoid that green ring around the yolk.

Step 2: Cook the Bacon

While the eggs are cooling:

Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy.
Transfer to paper towels to drain excess grease.
Once cooled, crumble finely.

For extra crispiness, you can bake bacon at 400°F (200°C) for 15–18 minutes.

Step 3: Peel & Slice

Gently tap eggs to crack the shell.
Peel under running water for easier removal.
Slice each egg in half lengthwise.
Carefully remove yolks and place them in a mixing bowl.
Arrange egg whites on a serving platter.

Step 4: Make the Creamy Filling

Mash the egg yolks with a fork until fine and crumbly.
Add mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar (or lemon juice), garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Mix until smooth and creamy.
Fold in most of the crumbled bacon (reserve some for topping).

💡 For ultra-smooth filling: Use a hand mixer or food processor.

Step 5: Fill the Eggs

Spoon the mixture into each egg white cavity, or
Transfer filling to a piping bag (or zip-top bag with corner snipped) for a professional look.

Step 6: Garnish & Serve

Sprinkle with smoked paprika.
Top with remaining bacon crumbles.
Add fresh chives for color and flavor.

Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 24 hours before serving.
