The Best Deviled Eggs with Bacon – How to Make Them

Want to know the secret to making the world’s best deviled eggs? Don’t miss this super simple, easy-to-follow recipe for perfect deviled eggs with BACON. (Mmmmm…..bacon!)

My husband is not really a recipe guy, but there are a few things that he makes better than anyone else on the planet. The first is omelets. The second is grilled cheese sandwiches. And the third… is deviled eggs.

He says the secret is in their simplicity–less is more (especially when it comes to mustard!) In any case, they are absolutely delicious. And I figured, since most of us will have a sudden influx of hard-boiled eggs to contend with this weekend, this would be the perfect time to share his top-secret recipe.

As a side note, the bacon is optional but highly recommended! If you are planning to add it, be sure to check out our instructions for quick & easy no-mess bacon!

Best Ever Deviled Eggs with Bacon

Here is what you need:

Step 1:  Place eggs in a pot; cover with water. Bring water to a rolling boil and boil for 9 minutes.

Step 2: Run cold water over eggs until cool enough to touch; drain water from the pot. Shake pot with the lid on to vigorously to crush the eggshells.

Step 3: Peel eggs under running water; dab dry with paper towel.

Step 4: Cut eggs in half lengthwise; gently scoop yellow yolks into a medium-size bowl.

Step 5: Mix in mayonnaise, mustards, and spices. Mash well with fork.

Step 6: Spoon mixture into a quart size ziplock bag. Cut a small hole in the corner and squeeze out the mixture into egg white halves.

Step 7: Sprinkle with paprika or cayenne pepper and add bacon to the top.

Instant Pot recipe update: Place the steamer trivet into the pot, add 1 cup of water into the bottom of the pot, then place your eggs on the trivet. Use the egg button, or set for 5 minutes on high–make sure the vent valve is on the sealing position. Once time is up, wait 5 minutes then do a quick release, (cover the valve with a dish towel and be sure to move your hand). Remove eggs from instant pot and place them in an ice bath. When eggs are cool, peel.
