These Bacon Cheddar Deviled Eggs, made with crisp bacon and sharp cheddar cheese, are a great party appetizer for the holidays or anytime.
Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a great end of 2012 and beginning of 2013! Do you have any New Year’s Eve or New Year’s Day traditions?
My husband, daughter, and I go to my friend Sue’s house every New Year’s Eve for a party. I usually bring some kind of dish. Last summer we had a cookout and Sue brought me deviled eggs. She knows my husband doesn’t like them and for some reason thinks it’s funny. Anyway, her deviled egg tray ended up in my cabinet for months, and I said I would bring it back filled. Since it was New Year’s I wanted to make something a bit fancier than just basic deviled eggs, and decided on deviled eggs with bacon.
Here is how to make deviled eggs with bacon and and cheese:
In a large pot, cover the eggs with cold water and bring to a boil. Remove from heat, cover, let sit for 15 minutes. Submerge the eggs in ice water until cooled.
While the eggs are cooling, fry five slices of bacon until crispy. Drain on paper towels and crumble four of the five slices.
Peel the eggs carefully, then slice in half length- wise.
Remove the yolks to a small bowl and add the mayonnaise, crumbled bacon, cheddar cheese, and mustard. You can prepare these deviled eggs without mustard, if you want. I like to use horseradish mustard.
and mix well with a spoon or a potato masher.
Using a spoon or pastry bag with a large tip, fill the egg white halves with the mixture. Crumble remaining 1 slice bacon and top each egg half with a few crumbles. Dust lightly with paprika. Yes, I forgot the paprika in these updated photos. You can see the older photos below the recipe.

It helps if your eggs are a day or two old also….fresh eggs are hard to peel!!
Bernadette says
I’ve heard that before, but since I’ve only ever had the chance to have fresh from the farm (chicken coop, whichever) twice in my life, I can’t say for sure.

Alastair says
Is there anything that can be used instead of the Horseradish Mustard?
rantsfrommycrazykitchen says
Sure! Regular mustard or brown mustard or if your looking to leave out the mustard altogether that would be fine too 🙂 If you wanted to still give them a little bit of spice you could add a drop or two of hot sauce.
Alastair says
Cool 🙂 Thanks
