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
If you are using larger eggs, you will need to add a little more mayonnaise.
Storage 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.
