How to Make Bacon and Cheddar Deviled Eggs

This recipe is beginner-friendly and comes together in just a few simple steps:

1. Boil the Eggs

Start by placing eggs in a pot and covering them with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once the water boils, turn off the heat, cover the pot, and let the eggs sit for 10–12 minutes.
Transfer the eggs to an ice water bath to cool quickly and make peeling easier.

2. Prepare the Filling

Once peeled, cut the eggs in half lengthwise and gently scoop out the yolks.
In a medium bowl, mash the yolks with mayonnaise and mustard (if using) until smooth. Stir in shredded cheddar cheese, half the crumbled bacon, and season with salt and black pepper to taste.

3. Assemble the Deviled Eggs

Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture into the egg white halves.
Top with the remaining bacon, an extra pinch of shredded cheddar, and a sprinkle of chives or parsley for color and freshness.

4. Serve or Chill

Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve. They can be made up to 24 hours in advance, just keep them chilled in a covered container.
