Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large eggs
  • ½ cup mayonnaise (for classic filling)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (for classic filling)
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar (for classic filling)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste (for classic filling)
  • Smoked paprika, for garnish (classic filling)
  • 4 slices bacon, cooked crisp and finely chopped (for bacon filling)
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise (for bacon filling)
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard (for bacon filling)
  • Fresh chives, finely chopped (optional, for garnish bacon filling)
  • 1 ripe avocado, peeled and pitted (for avocado filling)
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (for avocado filling)
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice (for avocado filling)
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder (for avocado filling)
  • Salt and pepper to taste (for avocado filling)
  • Cilantro leaves, for garnish (optional, avocado filling)

Instructions

  1. Place 12 large eggs in a single layer in a pot. Cover with cold water by about an inch. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
  2. Once boiling, cover the pot, turn off the heat, and let the eggs sit for 10-12 minutes.
  3. Drain hot water and immediately transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water. Chill for at least 5 minutes.
  4. Tap each egg gently on the counter and peel under running water to remove shells.
  5. Slice each egg in half lengthwise and carefully remove yolks into three separate bowls (4 yolks per bowl). Set whites aside on a serving platter.
  6. Classic filling: Mash yolks with ½ cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon white vinegar, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy. Add a splash of water or mayo if too thick.
  7. Bacon filling: Mash yolks with ¼ cup mayonnaise and 1 teaspoon yellow mustard. Fold in crisp chopped bacon. Season with salt and pepper.
  8. Avocado filling: Mash avocado with 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon lime juice, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, salt, and pepper until creamy but still slightly chunky.
  9. Fill each egg white half with one of the three fillings using a piping bag or spoon.
  10. Garnish classic deviled eggs with smoked paprika, bacon eggs with chives, and avocado eggs with cilantro leaves.
  11. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

Use older eggs (about a week) for easier peeling. Cook bacon until crispy but not burnt. Prepare avocado filling close to serving time to prevent browning. Add lime juice to avocado to keep it fresh. Refrigerate deviled eggs for at least 15 minutes before serving to meld flavors. Leftovers keep up to 2 days in an airtight container. Avoid freezing deviled eggs. For lighter options, swap mayo with Greek yogurt or vegan mayo.
