Gefüllte Eier mit Bacon

Zutaten

• 4 slices bacon (4 ounces)
• 6 large hard-boiled eggs
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
• 2 teaspoons dijon mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
• 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/6 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 teaspoons sliced chives
• smoked paprika (or sweet)

Zubereitung

1. 1

   Cook the Bacon - Add the bacon slices to a large skillet and turn the heat to medium. Cook until crispy, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. Once cooled, finely chop into smaller pieces.

2. 2

   Prepare the Eggs - Cut the eggs in half lengthwise and transfer the yolks to a medium-sized bowl. Use a fork to crumble the egg yolks.

3. 3

   Make the Filling - To the egg yolks, add 3 tablespoons of chopped bacon, mayonnaise, relish, mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.

4. 4

   Fill the Eggs - Transfer the mixture into a piping bag fitted with a large round tip. Pipe into each egg white half. Alternatively, spoon the mixture into each egg white.

5. 5

   Serve - Top with remaining chopped bacon and chives. Immediately transfer to a platter and serve or refrigerate.
