Ingredients
Scale

- ½ cup (120 ml) mayonnaise
- ¼ cup (60 g) cream cheese
- 2 tbsps yellow mustard
- 2 tsp dill pickle juice
- ¼ tsp kosher salt
- ¼ tsp ground black pepper
- paprika (for sprinkling)
- hot sauce (optional)
- chopped chives (optional)
Instructions
- Egg Preparation: Extract egg yolks from hard-boiled whites, transferring golden centers to a mixing bowl. Cook bacon in skillet until crisp and crumble into fine pieces.
- Filling Creation: Mash yolks with mayonnaise, cream cheese, yellow mustard, dill pickle juice, kosher salt, and ground black pepper. Whisk until smooth and uniform, creating a luxurious creamy base that blends all flavors harmoniously.
- Bacon Integration: Fold crispy bacon fragments into yolk mixture, ensuring even distribution and maximizing flavor profile throughout the filling.
- Piping Technique: Load mixture into piping bag or resealable plastic bag, cutting a small corner opening for precise filling application.
- Assembly and Finishing: Pipe creamy bacon-infused filling into egg white halves with elegant swirls. Sprinkle paprika across the surface for visual appeal and added depth. Optional embellishments include freshly chopped chives and a drizzle of hot sauce for adventurous palates.
- Storage: Refrigerate completed deviled eggs in sealed container until ready to serve, maintaining optimal texture and flavor integrity.
Notes
- Bacon Crispiness Matters: Ensure bacon is cooked until extremely crisp and thoroughly crumbled for maximum texture and flavor impact in the deviled eggs.
- Smooth Filling Technique: Use a fork or whisk to completely break down egg yolks, creating a silky-smooth base that blends seamlessly with cream cheese and other ingredients.
- Piping Precision: Cut the piping bag’s corner to exactly 1/4-inch for professional-looking, uniform egg filling that looks elegant and appetizing.
- Chill for Flavor Fusion: Refrigerate deviled eggs for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow ingredients to meld and develop a more intense, cohesive taste profile.
