Ingredients :
- 4 slices bacon, 4 ounces
- 6 large hard-boiled eggs
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
- 2 teaspoons dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
- ⅙ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons sliced chives
- smoked paprika, or sweet
Instructions :
- Cook the Bacon – Add the bacon slices to a large skillet and turn the heat to medium. Cook until crispy, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. Once cooled, finely chop into smaller pieces.
- Prepare the Eggs – Cut the eggs in half lengthwise and transfer the yolks to a medium-sized bowl. Use a fork to crumble the egg yolks.
- Make the Filling – To the egg yolks, add 3 tablespoons of chopped bacon, mayonnaise, relish, mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.
- Fill the Eggs – Transfer the mixture to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip. Pipe into each egg white half. Alternatively, spoon the mixture into each egg white.
- Serve – Top with remaining chopped bacon and chives. Immediately transfer to a platter and serve or refrigerate.
