My mom served me deviled eggs with bacon and it was over. Once I started adding bacon to my own deviled eggs, I couldn't go back. They belong together. I also love adding some pickled sweet jalapenos, jalapeno juice, green onion, my new favorite seasoning blend, and chives! Of course, I had to include the usual suspects, mayo, mustard and paprika. Perfect and easy appetizer for Easter or any day!
Leveled up Deviled Eggs:
10 eggs, boiled & peeled
1/3 cup mayo
2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp "The Blend" seasoning
6 slices bacon, cooked
2 green onion, minced
1/4 cup pickled sweet heat jalapenos (recipe here)
3 Tbsp sweet heat jalapeno juice
3 chives, minced
paprika for garnish
Slice eggs in half lengthwise and remove the yolks into a large bowl. Place egg whites onto serving platter. Using a fork, break up the yolks until they are a fine powder. Chop up the bacon slices and the pickled jalapenos into a small dice. To the bowl with the yolks, add in the mayo, mustard, "the blend seasoning", and jalapeno juice, mix well. Add in the onion, bacon, and jalapenos, (reserving some for garnish). Mix well. Scoop the mixture into a large gallon zip lock bag, and cut off the end to use as a piping bag. Pipe the filling into each egg white. Garnish with bacon, jalapenos chives and paprika as desired. Enjoy!
You are such a great cook!
