Description:
Tired of the same old deviled egg recipe? Try this scrumptious twist that combines classic flavors with a new spin. My boyfriend suggested adding mustard, inspired by his mom’s deviled eggs, so I decided to combine that idea with my own. The result? A creamy, tangy, and irresistibly delicious deviled egg that always comes home from gatherings with an empty plate! Perfect for brunches, potlucks, or any event where you want to impress with something a little different.
Ingredients:
- 6 hard-boiled eggs
- 2 tablespoons cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/3 cup prepared mustard
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 1 cup mayonnaise (you may need a bit more)
- 1/4 to 1/3 cup bacon bits, cooked and crumbled
- 4 teaspoons paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Eggs: Begin by splitting the hard-boiled eggs lengthwise. Gently remove the yolks and place them into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
-
Mash the Yolks: Use a fork to mash the egg yolks thoroughly until they achieve a smooth consistency.
-
Add Flavorings: Incorporate the prepared mustard and mayonnaise into the mashed yolks. Stir well to combine, creating a creamy base for your deviled eggs. If needed, adjust the amount of mayonnaise to reach your desired consistency.
-
Mix in Add-Ins: Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon bits. Mix everything together until evenly distributed.
-
Season the Mixture: Add the white sugar, salt, and pepper to taste. Stir well to blend the seasonings throughout the mixture.
-
Fill the Egg Whites: Spoon or pipe the egg yolk mixture evenly into the hollowed egg whites.
-
Garnish and Chill: Arrange the filled egg halves on an egg platter or a decorative plate. Generously sprinkle the tops with paprika for an extra touch of flavor and color.
-
Chill: Refrigerate the deviled eggs for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the filling to firm up.
Enjoy these delectable deviled eggs at your next gathering and watch them disappear quickly! The combination of tangy mustard, creamy mayonnaise, and crispy bacon will make these a standout addition to any spread.
