Bacon-Cheddar Deviled Eggs

This is one of my favorite ways to mix up deviled eggs. It ties in first place for me with my version of sriracha deviled eggs. I hadn’t got around to posting it until now (if you see in the photo it is from earlier in the season) but figured it might be of interest to folks having holiday parties, since deviled eggs are always a favorite year-round.

If you make these ahead to save time with your party planning, be sure not to fill them until the last minute, as they will need to be kept refrigerated and covered, and plastic wrap generally messes up the topping. It is a good idea to put the yolk mixture into a ziplock bag and keep that sealed, then when you take them out, snip the corner of the bag and squeeze it to pipe the filling onto the eggs.

I also tend to use older eggs for deviled eggs, as the white shrinks inside making them easier to peel. And my preferred method to boil is a cold water start, covering the eggs with a couple inches of water, bringing to a boil, then boiling for 10 minutes. Then drain off the hot water and run cold water over them to cool them off. You can then peel them when they are easy to handle.
