Make Filling: Peel and slice each egg lengthwise. Carefully scoop or pop out egg yolks into a large mixing bowl. Mash egg yolks, then stir in mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth.

NOTES & TIPS

(1) Hard-Boiled Eggs. Despite the name, the best way to hard-boil eggs is by steaming them, not boiling. Steaming causes the whites to pull away from the shell membranes, making peeling incredibly easy. On the stovetop, place eggs in a steamer basket over simmering water in a saucepan. Cover and steam for 12 to 14 minutes, depending on how well done you prefer the yolks to be. Using the Instant Pot, place eggs on a trivet or steamer basket over 1 cup of water. Cook for 5 minutes at high pressure, followed by 5 minutes of natural release.

(2) Sriracha. You can substitute with your favorite hot sauce.

(3) Cooking Bacon. You can cook bacon in the microwave, in the oven (see How To Bake Bacon), or on the stovetop by frying them on a pan until crispy, turning them occasionally. After cooking, transfer bacon to paper towels to absorb the grease. Once the bacon is cool, crumble into small pieces.

(4) Serving. If not serving right away, cover and refrigerate. I prefer deviled eggs to be chilled, so I will refrigerate them for at least a few hours before serving. You can make them up to 1 day in advance. You can serve deviled eggs with other party appetizers like Mini Cheese Balls (which can also be made in advance and served chilled), great for potlucks during holidays like Easter.

A supervisor at work made this recipe for a potluck. I do not want to eat any other deviled egg recipe now except this one. I’ve always loved deviled eggs, but this recipe is the best I’ve EVER tasted. Now I ONLY want to make this recipe. SO good. I made it at home–18 count–and they got wiped out. My family loves it, also. Thank you, thank you, thank you. (How about 10 stars?)
