Recipe Equipment
- Medium saucepan
- Slotted spoon
- Mixing bowl
- Fork or hand mixer
- Sharp knife
- Piping bag or spoon
- Paper towels
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 3 slices cooked bacon, finely chopped
- ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
- Smoked paprika (for garnish, optional)
Why These Ingredients Work
The mayonnaise creates a smooth, creamy filling, while mustard adds tang. Bacon and cheddar bring salty, savory depth, and green onions add freshness that balances the richness perfectly.
Ingredient Notes
- Eggs: Use fresh, large eggs for the best texture and clean halves.
- Mayonnaise: Full-fat mayo works best for keto and flavor.
- Cheese: Sharp cheddar adds bold flavor, but mild cheddar works too.
- Bacon: Cook until crispy for maximum crunch and contrast.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Boil the Eggs
Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Transfer to an ice bath to cool completely.
Step 2: Peel and Slice
Once cooled, gently peel the eggs and slice them in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl.
Step 3: Make the Filling
Mash the yolks with mayonnaise, mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until the texture is creamy, fluffy, and smooth.
Step 4: Fill the Eggs
Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg whites, creating generous mounds.
Step 5: Load Them Up
Top each egg with crispy bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, green onions, and a light sprinkle of smoked paprika for color and flavor.
Pro Tips & Variations
For extra creaminess, add a tablespoon of sour cream or cream cheese to the yolk mixture. Love spice? Mix in a dash of hot sauce or cayenne pepper. You can also swap cheddar for pepper jack or smoked gouda for a different flavor profile. To save time, make the filling a day ahead and assemble just before serving. If transporting, keep deviled eggs chilled in an airtight container. These eggs stay fresh and delicious in the fridge for up to three days, making them perfect for meal prep or entertaining.
