Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 4 slices bacon
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise (avocado oil or olive oil based)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika, plus more for garnish
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover with cold water by about 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat, then cover, remove from heat, and let sit for 12 minutes.
- 2
While the eggs cook, fry the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 6 to 8 minutes. Drain on paper towels, let cool, then crumble or finely chop. Reserve a small handful for garnish.
- 3
Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water and let cool for 5 minutes. Peel under cool running water, then slice each egg in half lengthwise. Pop the yolks into a medium bowl and arrange the whites on a serving plate.
- 4
Mash the yolks with a fork until crumbly, then stir in the mayonnaise, Dijon, apple cider vinegar, cheddar, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika until smooth. Fold in most of the crumbled bacon, reserving some for topping.
- 5
Spoon or pipe the filling back into the egg white halves, mounding it slightly.
- 6
Top with the reserved bacon, a dusting of smoked paprika, and chopped chives. Serve chilled.
Tips & notes
- For an ultra-smooth filling, press the yolks through a fine-mesh sieve or blend with an immersion blender before folding in the bacon.
- Add a few drops of hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne to the filling for a spicy kick, and stir the warm rendered bacon fat in for even richer flavor.
- Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For meal prep, keep the filling, whites, and bacon topping separate and assemble just before serving so the bacon stays crisp.
