A quick and easy recipe for classic deviled eggs with smoky bacon and spicy sriracha variations, perfect for any occasion and crowd-pleasing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise (about 80 ml)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar or lemon juice
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup cooked and crumbled bacon bits (about 60 grams)
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons sriracha sauce (adjust to heat preference)
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped chives or green onions
  • Paprika for dusting

Instructions

  1. Place 12 large eggs in a single layer in a large pot. Cover with cold water by about an inch. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
  2. Once boiling, cover the pot and turn off the heat. Let eggs sit for 12 minutes for hard-boiled perfection (about 10 minutes for slightly softer yolks).
  3. Drain hot water and immediately transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water to stop cooking. Leave for at least 5 minutes.
  4. Gently crack each egg all over and peel under running water if needed. Slice each egg in half lengthwise and scoop out the yolks into a mixing bowl.
  5. Mash the yolks with a fork or potato masher. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar or lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  6. Divide the yolk mixture into three equal portions. Leave one portion as the classic base.
  7. Fold 1/4 cup cooked, crumbled bacon into the second portion.
  8. Stir 1 to 2 teaspoons sriracha sauce into the third portion.
  9. Using a spoon or piping bag, fill each egg white half with the respective filling, keeping the three variations separate.
  10. Sprinkle all deviled eggs lightly with paprika and chopped chives or green onions. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

Use older eggs for easier peeling. Shock eggs in ice water immediately after boiling to improve peelability. Adjust sriracha amount to control spice level. Fill eggs just before serving for best texture. May substitute mayo with avocado or vegan mayo for dairy-free option. Turkey bacon can be used for a leaner alternative.
