A spicy, smoky twist on classic deviled eggs featuring creamy filling with Sriracha and crispy bacon, perfect for parties and quick snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • Salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 4 slices crispy bacon, cooked and finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place 6 large eggs in a single layer in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by about an inch. Bring water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, then cover, remove from heat, and let sit for 12 minutes.
  2. Transfer eggs to an ice bath for 5 minutes to stop cooking and make peeling easier.
  3. While eggs cool, cook 4 slices of thick-cut bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 8–10 minutes, flipping occasionally. Transfer to paper towels and finely chop once cooled. Save a teaspoon of bacon fat if desired.
  4. Gently tap each egg on the counter, peel under running water, slice lengthwise in half, and scoop out yolks into a bowl. Set whites aside on a serving plate.
  5. Mash yolks with a fork until crumbly. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Sriracha, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy. Stir in half the chopped bacon.
  6. Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves, forming mounds.
  7. Sprinkle with smoked paprika, remaining bacon bits, and chopped chives. Serve immediately or chill up to 2 hours.

Notes

Use vegan mayo and coconut bacon for a plant-based version. Adjust Sriracha to taste for heat preference. Bacon can be baked on a wire rack at 400°F for 15-20 minutes as an alternative to frying. If filling is too thick, add a teaspoon of milk or more mayo; if too runny, add more yolk or reduce liquid. Boil eggs starting in cold water and remove from heat after boiling to avoid green yolk ring. Peel eggs under running water for easier shell removal. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
