    Deviled Eggs with Bacon Bits

    Brunch conjures images of lazy Sunday mornings, sipping mimosas, and indulging in delectable yet casual fare. Among the spread, deviled eggs stand out with their rich, creamy filling and tangy finish. Consider the classic deviled egg—a staple of picnics and potlucks—and then, imagine it transformed with a simple yet indulgent addition: crispy bacon bits.

    These eggs are perfectly complemented by a Fresh Fruit and Kale Salad, offering a sweet contrast to the savory, smoky notes of the bacon. Alternatively, serve it with a Grilled Chicken Salad for a more hearty option.

    Ingredients

    Serves: 8 Prep Time: 20 minutes Cook Time: 20 minutes

    • 12 eggs
    • ½ cup homemade mayonnaise
    • 1 tablespoon mustard
    • 1 tablespoon cumin
    • 6 slices bacon
    • Paprika for garnishing
    • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

    How to Make Deviled Eggs with Bacon Bits

    Cook the bacon slices in a pan over a medium heat until crispy. When the bacon is ready, let it cool.

    Crumble the bacon to small bits.

    Place the eggs in a pot filled with cold water.

    Bring to a boil and let it boil for 12 minutes.

    After the 12 minutes, remove from the heat, drain and run some cold water immediately on the eggs. The cold water will cool the eggs so you can work with them, but will also stop the cooking process. You’ll often see overcooked eggs with a grey-colored edge to the yolks.

    Once the eggs are cold enough to handle, peel them and cut them in half.

    Carefully scoop out the yolks and mash them in a bowl with the mayonnaise, mustard, bacon bits, cumin and salt and pepper to taste.

    With either a spoon or a makeshift piping bag made with a plastic sandwich bag with a cut off corner, fill in the cavity of the egg white halves with the yolk, mayonnaise and bacon filling.

    Garnish with some paprika and some of your favorite fresh herbs.
