These deviled eggs feature a creamy filling with crispy bacon, tangy dill pickles, and smoky paprika, making them a quick and crowd-pleasing snack perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, hard-boiled, peeled, and chilled
  • 4–5 strips thick-cut bacon, cooked until crispy and chopped finely
  • 2 tablespoons dill pickles, finely chopped
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, plus extra for garnish
  • Salt to taste (about 1/4 teaspoon)
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste (about 1/8 teaspoon)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh dill, finely chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place 6 large eggs in a medium pot and cover with cold water by about an inch. Bring water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, then cover the pot, remove from heat, and let sit for exactly 10 minutes.
  2. Transfer eggs immediately to an ice bath for 5 minutes to stop cooking and make peeling easier. Gently crack the shells and peel under running cold water.
  3. While eggs cook, fry 4-5 strips of thick-cut bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy (about 8-10 minutes). Drain on paper towels and chop finely once cooled. Alternatively, bake bacon at 400°F (200°C) for 15-18 minutes on a wire rack for even crispness.
  4. Slice peeled eggs in half lengthwise, carefully remove yolks, and place them in a bowl. Mash yolks with a fork until smooth.
  5. Add 3 tablespoons mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, chopped dill pickles, salt, and pepper to the yolks. Mix until creamy and well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  6. Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves, mounding slightly for best presentation.
  7. Sprinkle the filled eggs generously with crispy bacon bits, a dusting of smoked paprika, and optional fresh dill.
  8. Serve immediately or chill for up to 2 hours before serving to let flavors meld.

Notes

Use the hot-start method for boiling eggs to avoid green rings. Baking bacon on a wire rack yields crispier bacon without grease. If filling is too thick, add a splash of milk or more mayo. Handle egg whites gently to avoid cracking. Prepare up to 2 hours ahead and keep refrigerated. Avoid freezing leftovers.
