Instructions
Slice the hard-boiled eggs in half, length-wise, and transfer the yolks into a large bowl. Set the cooked egg white halves onto a large plate.
Mash the yolks with a fork and add mayo, ¾th of the bacon, cheese, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine the ingredients until the mixture is cohesive.
Transfer the filling to a plastic zip bag or piping bag. Cut the end and pipe the filling into each egg white half. Alternatively, use a spoon to fill the egg halves with the mixture.
Place the deviled eggs onto the plate, top with the remaining chopped bacon, and refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.
Notes
Make-Ahead: Deviled eggs are best eaten within 24 hours; they can be made the day ahead and kept refrigerated in an airtight container. Leftover Deviled Eggs: Leftover deviled eggs can be kept refrigerated for several days, but may not look as pretty.
