Deviled eggs are America's favorite appetizer for good reason. This version pipes a velvety filling into the whites and adds upscale toppings that make them worthy of any gathering.

Why This Recipe Works

Passing the yolks through a fine sieve creates an impossibly smooth filling that pipes beautifully. The combination of mayo, mustard, and a touch of vinegar balances richness with tang.

Ingredients

  • 12 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp white wine vinegar
  • 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • Smoked paprika and fresh chives for garnish

Instructions

  1. 1

    Place eggs in a single layer in a pot, cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil, cover, remove from heat, and let sit 12 minutes.

  2. 2

    Transfer eggs to an ice bath for 5 minutes, then peel and halve lengthwise.

  3. 3

    Scoop yolks into a fine-mesh sieve set over a bowl and press through with a spoon until smooth.

  4. 4

    Mix sieved yolks with mayo, mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper until creamy. Transfer to a piping bag with a star tip.

  5. 5

    Pipe filling into the egg white halves and top with crumbled bacon, a dusting of smoked paprika, and snipped chives.

Tips & Storage

Pro Tips

  • Use eggs that are at least a week old—fresh eggs are much harder to peel cleanly.

  • Pipe the filling for a polished look, or use a zip-lock bag with the corner snipped.

Storage

Refrigerate covered up to 2 days. Store filling and whites separately for best results.

Reheating

Serve cold—deviled eggs should not be reheated.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I prevent green yolks?
The ice bath stops cooking immediately. Green rings come from overcooking.
What other toppings work?
Try pickled onions, everything bagel seasoning, or a tiny shrimp on each.
