A versatile and crowd-pleasing recipe featuring deviled eggs prepared three ways: classic, bacon, and sriracha, perfect for any occasion and easy to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large eggs (room temperature for easier peeling)
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Smoked paprika (for garnish and subtle smokiness)
  • 4 slices thick-cut bacon (cooked until crispy and crumbled)
  • Chives or green onions (finely chopped for freshness)
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • Toasted sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

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, then cover the pot and remove it from heat. Let the eggs sit for 10-12 minutes.
  2. Transfer the eggs immediately to a bowl of ice water to cool for at least 5 minutes. Gently tap each egg on a hard surface and peel under running water.
  3. Slice each egg in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out yolks into a mixing bowl. Mash the yolks with 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon white vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  4. Split the yolk mixture evenly into three bowls for the three flavor variations.
  5. Classic Deviled Eggs: Leave the filling as is. Spoon or pipe it back into the egg whites. Sprinkle with smoked paprika.
  6. Bacon Deviled Eggs: Mix in the crumbled crispy bacon and finely chopped chives into the filling. Spoon or pipe into egg whites and garnish with a small bacon piece and extra chives if desired.
  7. Sriracha Deviled Eggs: Stir in 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce and 1 teaspoon honey until well combined. Fill the egg whites and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
  8. Place all deviled eggs on a platter, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use eggs that are at least a week old for easier peeling. Peeling under running water helps loosen shells. You can boil eggs a day ahead and assemble on the day of serving. Adjust sriracha to taste to control spiciness. Substitute Greek yogurt or mashed avocado for mayonnaise for a lighter or dairy-free option. Store deviled eggs in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days; avoid freezing.
