Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 3 slices bacon
• 0.25 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
• 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon white vinegar
• 0.25 teaspoon paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon chives, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Place the eggs in a single layer in a medium-sized saucepan and cover with cold water, ensuring the water is at least an inch above the eggs.

Step 2

Bring the water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, then cover the pan, remove it from heat, and let the eggs sit for 10-12 minutes.

Step 3

While the eggs are cooking, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to cool, then crumble or finely chop it.

Step 4

Once the eggs are done, transfer them to an ice water bath and let them cool for at least 5 minutes. Carefully peel the eggs under running water and pat them dry with a paper towel.

Step 5

Cut each egg in half lengthwise and gently scoop out the yolks into a medium bowl. Place the egg whites on a serving platter.

Step 6

Mash the yolks with a fork until smooth, then stir in the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, and pepper until fully combined.

Step 7

Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and half of the crumbled bacon, reserving the rest for garnish.

Step 8

Using a spoon or a piping bag fitted with a large tip, fill each egg white half with the yolk mixture.

Step 9

Garnish the deviled eggs with the remaining crumbled bacon, a sprinkle of paprika, and chopped chives, if desired.

Step 10

Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve. Enjoy!
