A quick and easy recipe for deviled eggs with three delicious variations: classic, avocado, and bacon & cheddar. Perfect for any occasion, these creamy, tangy, and flavorful bites are crowd-pleasers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise (120 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar or apple cider vinegar
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • For Classic Deviled Eggs: 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, fresh dill (optional, chopped)
  • For Avocado Deviled Eggs: 1 medium ripe avocado (mashed), 1 teaspoon lime juice, 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro, jalapeño (optional, finely diced)
  • For Bacon & Cheddar Deviled Eggs: 4 slices cooked bacon (crumbled), 1/4 cup sharp cheddar cheese (shredded), 1 tablespoon chopped chives

Instructions

  1. Place 12 large eggs in a single layer in a large pot. Cover with cold water about 1 inch above the eggs. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat (about 10 minutes). Once boiling, cover the pot and remove from heat. Let eggs sit for 12 minutes.
  2. Immediately transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool for at least 5 minutes. Gently tap and roll the eggs on the counter to crack the shell, then peel under running water. Pat dry with a paper towel.
  3. Slice peeled eggs lengthwise and carefully scoop out yolks into a medium bowl. Set whites aside on a serving platter.
  4. Mash yolks with a fork or whisk until crumbly. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Mix until very smooth.
  5. Divide the yolk mixture into three portions for the variations.
  6. Classic: Mix in smoked paprika (reserve some for garnish) and chopped dill if using.
  7. Avocado: Mash avocado and mix into the yolk portion. Add lime juice, chopped cilantro, and diced jalapeño if desired. Adjust salt and pepper.
  8. Bacon & Cheddar: Fold in crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar, and chopped chives.
  9. Fill egg white halves with each yolk mixture using a spoon or piping bag. Garnish classic with paprika, avocado with cilantro or jalapeño slices, and bacon with bacon crumble or chive sprig.
  10. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving to let flavors meld and filling firm up.

Notes

Use older eggs for easier peeling. Shock eggs in ice water immediately after boiling to prevent green rings and overcooking. Mash yolks until completely smooth for best texture. Chill deviled eggs before serving to let flavors meld and filling firm up. Adjust seasoning last as mayo and mustard brands vary. May substitute mayo with Greek yogurt or avocado for dairy-free or lighter options. Store leftovers in airtight container in fridge up to 3 days; avoid freezing.
