I’m pretty sure the deviled egg was voted “World’s Most Desired Appetizer” last year and I’m counting on it’s popularity to win the title again this year. I mean, what’s not to love about a deviled egg? For the host it’s one on of the easiest appetizers to make and inexpensive to boot. For the party goer, it’s a handheld delight that is both delightfully creamy and incredibly savory.
Today, we’re kicking it up a notch.
For my long time readers you know that my Nana was a big proponent of cream cheese. I talk about her love of cream cheese in my book and how it’s this magical ingredient that makes everything better – and it does. Especially deviled eggs.
These deviled eggs are going to disappear so fast you’re gonna want to double the amount you typically make. Extra creamy and delicious, the filling is not only enhanced with the smooth cream cheese, but also the addition of bacon and chives. (This combo also works wonders with twice baked potatoes!) A bit of Dijon mustard provides a bit of a kick but if you prefer plain yellow mustard, you’re good to go there as well.
These Bacon Cream Cheese Deviled Eggs will be a welcome addition to any celebration, any time of year. I especially love to serve them at picnics, BBQs, and of course, Easter! I hope you love them as much as I do!
Bringing these to a party? Bring on a pretty deviled egg tray and leave it as a hostess gift!

How To Make Deviled Eggs
Bacon Cream Cheese Deviled Eggs
Ingredients
- 10 hard boiled eggs
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard or plain yellow mustard
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper or white pepper
- 4 strips bacon cooked and crumbled
- 3 tablespoons chopped chives
Instructions
- Cut the eggs in half and remove the yolks.
- Beat the cream cheese and mayonnaise together until fluffy. Add in the egg yolks, mustard, salt and pepper.
- Beat until nice and smooth. (Test for seasoning at this point and add more if needed.)
- Stir in bacon and chopped chives, reserving some for garnish.
- Spoon or pipe the filling back into the egg whites and sprinkle with bacon and chives, if desired.
- Keep refrigerated until ready to serve. Deviled egg trays make this easy!
Notes
- Refrigerator: To store your bacon cream cheese deviled eggs, place them in an air-tight container for 3-4 days. I would recommend cooking your bacon and storing it in a ziploc bag and storing it in your pantry. This way, the bacon won't lose that crunchy texture you're looking for to go on top of your eggs.
- Freezer: While you can make these bacon cream cheese deviled eggs ahead of time, you don't want to freeze them. Freezing the eggs will alter the texture and rich creamy flavor and wouldn't make for the best appetizer!
- Make Ahead: Feel free to boil your eggs up to a few days in advance and keep in the fridge. Then simply take your yoke and combine it with the rest of your filling ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.

To me, this Recipe is a Little Bland & Unexciting. I like to add some Pickle Relish, Finely Chopped Celery, Garlic Powder, And Onion Powder! (All to Your Own Taste.) — I would also suggest at least twice as much Bacon! — 8 to 10 Slices.
If you try this; I’m pretty sure that most people will like thiese better!

I just made these up for Father’s Days today. They are SO good. Not too over-the-top different from the kind Grandma used to make. I added about a tablespoon of white vinegar to it to make it more pliable and to add tartness to it. I love them…thank you so much for sharing.
