Smoky bacon and sharp Cheddar cheese take these bacon deviled eggs to a whole new a level of delicious that you need to taste!

Deviled eggs are the backbone of every successful party, BBQ, and potluck, and this easy recipe exceeds every expectation. Double the recipe because they disappear fast!

Bacon Deviled Egg Ingredients

No fancy ingredients are needed to make these bacon deviled eggs; just a handful of fridge and pantry staples. 

  • large eggs: here’s the secret to perfect hard-boiled eggs with shells that glide off. 
  • mayonnaise: keep it classic with mayonnaise, or swap it out for sour cream. It has a tangier flavor but the same consistency. 
  • bacon: cook it crispy and chop it finely. 
  • shredded Cheddar: or any shredded cheese. 
  • salt & pepper: just a pinch.

How to Make Bacon Deviled Eggs

Take notes because I’m about to show you how to make the PERFECT deviled eggs, step-by-step: 

  1. Prep the eggs
    Slice the boiled eggs in half length-wise and transfer the yolk to a medium bowl. Need another method for making hard-boiled eggs? Try the oven method!
  2. Make the filling
    Add the mayo, bacon, cheese, and a pinch of salt. Mash with a fork until smooth. 
  3. Stuff
    Use a piping bag or large spoon to fill the center of each egg white half. Top with additional chopped bacon. 
  4. Serve
    Refrigerate the eggs for an hour before serving. Quickly grab a few and watch the rest disappear.

Tips for the Best Deviled Eggs

Before you head to the kitchen, here are a few tips to make deviled eggs that look and taste great! 

Cook the eggs long enough
For hard-boiled eggs with bright yellow yolks, the eggs will need to sit in hot water for 13 minutes after boiling. Review the full cooking process in my post on perfect hard-boiled eggs.

Give the eggs an ice bath
Place the hot boiled eggs in an ice-water bath. This will “shock” the membrane between the egg white and the eggshell, making the shells much easier to remove. 

Peel immediately
Once they’re at room temperature, peel the boiled eggs. A common is to refrigerate them with the shells on. This will guarantee not-so-pretty peeled eggs. 

Did you know there is more than one way to peel hard-boiled eggs? Watch the video and see if you can guess my favorite method. 

How to Make-Ahead Deviled Eggs

Deviled eggs can be made ahead, but they are best eaten within 24 hours. Prepare the recipe from start to finish, place the eggs in an airtight container and refrigerate. Before serving, finish them off with an extra topping of bacon bits.
