Ingredients & Substitutions
This section explains how to choose the best ingredients for the best deviled egg recipe with bacon, what each one does in the recipe, and substitution options. For measurements, see the recipe card below.
- Eggs – Use my guide for easy peel boiled eggs for a frustration-free experience every time. You could also make air fryer hard boiled eggs or hard boiled eggs in the oven if you like.
- Mayonnaise – The base of the yolk filling. You can make homemade avocado mayo or buy it.
- Dijon Mustard – Adds a little spice. Feel free to use regular yellow mustard instead of the Dijon if you like, or even a flavored mustard.
- Apple Cider Vinegar – Apple cider vinegar helps to break down the egg yolk and gives the bacon deviled eggs a little tang. You can also use distilled vinegar, or pickle relish if you like that flavor.
- Garlic Powder – For flavor.
- Sea Salt
- Cooked Bacon – I cook bacon in the oven, but you could also make bacon in the air fryer or cook bacon in the microwave. For a time-saving shortcut, get precooked bacon bits. This recipe uses 4 slices bacon, which would be equivalent to about 1/4 cup bacon bits.
- Smoked Paprika – Adds smoky flavor and a bit of color. You could use regular paprika as well.
- Fresh Chives – For the garnish and they also add some delicate onion flavor. Thinly sliced green onions would also taste delicious.

- Add Spices – If you like a kick, add a sprinkle of black pepper or cayenne pepper, or a drizzle of sriracha to the filling mixture.
- Add Other Toppings – Try chopped olives, roasted red peppers, capers, diced radishes, lox, diced ham, or sliced prosciutto.
Storage Instructions
You can store deviled eggs with bacon in the fridge for 3-4 days, but they are best eaten the same day.
If you’re looking to save time, you can boil the eggs and make the filling up to a few days in advance. However, don’t fill the eggs until right before serving.

0Deviled eggs are a “staple” in the South. This recipe is EASY, COMES TOGETHER QUICKLY and IS DELICIOUS! I TOTALLY enjoyed it and will be making more for my family.
C Kitch
0Wonderful recipe! I’ve been making these for 20-30 years, and we also add some finely shredded sharp cheese to the yolks. So delicious! Try it out!
Carol
0I did a test drive of 4 servings tonight to see if they were worth taking to the Labor Day celebrations.
They were absolutely delicious and I am definitely taking them to the celebrations.
Definitely the best deviled eggs I have ever made. Thank you so much for posting this recipe.
Wayne
0So very good. I used the spicy avocado mayo. for the mix. Just not as much (my family has not gotten used to the extreme spiciness of it), tasting as I made it. Use mayo next time 50/50.
Michelle Petty
0Way way WAY to vinegarry!! Omit the vinegar all together or taste before adding!
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Michelle, Sorry these didn’t suit your tastes. Feel free to scale back on the amount of apple cider vinegar next time.
Tracy
0Absolutely agree, the vinegar was very overpowering, I would omit it altogether next time. Without that, I feel it would be a solid recipe. Thanks anyway Maya – my first time making deviled eggs!
Etta Milhoan
0I am so happy to see this recipe. We have deviled eggs every time our family gets together. These will be on my serving plate right beside the big Turkey. Love your recipes because I have to watch my food intake.
Sandra
0Good morning, Maya: I wish to apologize for my earlier note where it was mentioned that there was difficulty printing out this recipe. The computer was left on when I had to leave the room for awhile. When I returned to it, I decided to restart it. Guess what? When your site returned to the screen, it looked a little bit better, and when the “box” where it says”print” was taped, it printed out the recipe! What a nice surprise! Evidently, rebooting was the solution here. Thanks for posting this recipe. It’s sure to be a winner! Sandra W.
Jay
0This looks great. Gonna make some today. Never used Cider vinegar before. However, I think the fat should be 12.5g , 1/4 cup is 12 tbsp = 1tbsp per egg half, since the recipe uses 6 eggs. Which is a bonus for Keto 😀 (13.5 with Hellman’s real mayo vs avocado oil mayo….)
Thank you for the recipe!
Joanna Rogers
0A 1/4 c is NOT 12TBSP
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Joanna, I think it’s just a typo. There are 12 teaspoons in 1/4 cup.
Taylor
0I’m so glad that I came across this recipe today! The eggs turned out great!
Sharita Glass
0Are the fat, protein and carbs numbers for half an egg or one whole egg (2 halfs)?
Wholesome Yum M
0Hi Sharita, The nutrition is for one half egg, or one deviled egg.
Ann
0Yummy recipe! I forgot to sprinkle the bacon to top and my family still loved them. They said these deviled eggs were the best I have made yet. The recipe was delicious, definitely a keeper.

wilhelmina
0These eggs are delish! We will be making them all spring long!

0I’ve never tried deviled eggs before now I can see how easy they are I will try as soon as I can.

0I love this idea but still thinking about what food to use with these eggs because normally I just eat minimum 1 egg, maybe some sandwiches or salad…
