Recipe Notes
Store leftover deviled eggs covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. For best results, prepare and chill the hard-boiled eggs before assembling the deviled eggs. Use a sharp knife to cut the eggs cleanly without tearing the whites. Divide the yolk filling evenly among the egg whites. Taste the filling before adding additional seasoning. Cook the bacon in advance or use leftover cooked bacon. Bacon bits can also be used for a quicker option.Variations
Replace the pickle relish with a small amount of apple cider vinegar or lemon juice for a different flavor. For extra seasoning, try smoked paprika or a small amount of onion powder. Shredded cheddar cheese can be mixed into the yolk filling. Garnish with hot sauce or fresh parsley instead of, or in addition to, the bacon and chives. Turkey bacon can be used in place of regular bacon.

How to Boil Eggs

When you are ready to make these deviled, prepare by removing the hard peels.
The Best Way to Peel Eggs
Peeling eggs can get tricky and can cause your eggs to not look very pleasing. Here are some helpful tips to peel the eggs so your deviled eggs look appetizing.
- Older Eggs – I find that using older eggs make it easy to peel them when hard boiled.
- Chill Eggs – Everyone has their own method to boiling eggs. But I like to place them in a ice bath after baking. This usually causes the shell to peel right off.
- Roll the Egg – After you egg has cooled, gently roll the egg on the counter. This helps to crack the shell making it easy to peel.
- Peel at the Bottom – On the bottom of the egg there is a air pocket. I simply hit the bottom of the egg on the counter which makes it crack. Then start peeling from that air pocket. The shell will come right off.
