Amazing Deviled Eggs with Bacon: 100% Crowd-Ple

Question 1

Can I make these ahead of time?

Accepted Answer

Oh, absolutely! In fact, I think they're even better if you make them a day ahead. Just assemble the eggs as usual, but maybe hold off on the final bacon and paprika sprinkle until you're ready to serve. That way, the bacon stays super crispy! They'll keep beautifully covered in the fridge.

Question 2

What’s the best way to boil eggs for deviled eggs?

Accepted Answer

My favorite trick for perfectly cooked eggs that peel like a dream is to start them in cold water. Place your eggs in a pot, cover them with about an inch of cold water, and bring it to a rolling boil. Once it's boiling, cover the pot, turn off the heat, and let them sit for about 10-12 minutes. Then, plunge them into an ice bath! This stops the cooking and makes peeling so much easier. No more frustration!

Question 3

How long do deviled eggs with bacon last?

Accepted Answer

These tasty appetizers are best enjoyed within a couple of days. Just be sure to store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. If you want them to be extra-special for a party, I’d recommend making them the day before for the best texture and flavor. They're pretty addictive, though, so you might not have any leftovers!

Question 4

Why are my deviled eggs a little watery?

Accepted Answer

That usually happens if there’s too much moisture in the egg whites, or if the yolk mixture is a bit too thin. Make sure you drain your eggs really well after they've been in the fridge, and try not to add too much liquid (like mayo or vinegar) to the yolks, especially if your yolks are already quite moist. Getting that bacon super crisp also helps avoid any sogginess!
