BACON DEVILED EGGS — Crispy bacon, green onion and a hint of cayenne pepper are added to traditional deviled eggs in this kicked up version of the classic stuffed egg appetizer.
I love deviled eggs. Love! And the crispy bacon in these Bacon Deviled Eggs only makes them better. Because, as we all know, bacon makes everything better.
These eggs are a perfect addition to a brunch buffet. They also make great appetizers, and are fantastic protein packed snacks.
Of course, I usually eat a few too many to call it a snack…..so I’m going to say they’re also great as a light lunch! Really, I can’t eat just one or two of these delicious stuffed eggs.
Maybe that’s why they’re called deviled eggs…..because they’re so tempting!
A little secret for getting your deviled eggs to sit flat on a plate or platter. Remove a tiny slice from the underside of the egg. This will create a flat bottom for the egg to rest on. No more deviled eggs tipping and sliding around your serving tray!
If you love deviled eggs as much as I do, then this bacon version is a must try. I hope you like them as much as I do. Try not to eat too many!
Be sure to save this Bacon Deviled Eggs recipe to your favorite Pinterest board for later.

These look lovely. Devilled eggs always remind me of my childhood as they seemed so much more popular then but I love them.

Oh YUM! I have not had a perfect deviled egg since my mother-in-law passed away about 8 years ago. Definitely need to make some. These look fabulous.
