The Perfect Loaded Deviled Eggs Recipe

Loaded deviled eggs are a delicious and impressive appetizer, perfect for parties, gatherings, or any occasion. Here’s a recipe to create the perfect loaded deviled eggs:

Ingredients:

– 6 large eggs
– 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
– 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
– 1 teaspoon white vinegar
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
– 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
– 2-3 tablespoons finely chopped cooked bacon
– 2-3 tablespoons shredded cheddar cheese
– 2-3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives or green onions (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Hard-boil the eggs: Place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and let the eggs simmer for about 10-12 minutes. After cooking, immediately transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool and stop the cooking process. Let them sit in the ice water for about 5 minutes.

2. Once the eggs are cooled, gently tap and roll them on a hard surface to crack the shells, then peel the shells off. Carefully slice each egg in half lengthwise and remove the yolks, placing them in a separate bowl.

3. Mash the egg yolks with a fork until they form a smooth, creamy texture.

4. Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to the mashed yolks. Mix everything together until well combined and smooth.

5. Spoon the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves, or for a neater presentation, use a piping bag fitted with a star tip to pipe the mixture back into the egg whites.

6. Now it’s time to load up the deviled eggs: Sprinkle each deviled egg with finely chopped cooked bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped fresh chives or green onions for a burst of flavor and vibrant colors.

7. Chill the loaded deviled eggs in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the eggs to firm up.

8. Serve the loaded deviled eggs as a delightful appetizer or finger food at your event or gathering. They’ll disappear quickly, so be sure to make plenty!
