Ingredients

6 eggs
½ cup mayonnaise
½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon mustard
3 slices bacon finely minced
2 tablespoon fresh dill chopped
1 jalapeno seeds removed and diced
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper

Instructions

Place eggs in a saucepan and add water until the eggs are completely submerged by 1 inch. Heat on high until boiling, then remove the pan from the heat and set a timer for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook the bacon. Place in a frying pan over medium heat. Cook for 10-12 minutes, turning once or twice, until brown and crisp. Transfer to a paper towel or wire rack to remove excess grease. Once cool, finely chop and set aside in a small bowl.
Once the eggs are cooked, transfer them to a large bowl of ice water for 3 minutes to stop the cooking process. Peel the eggs by cracking the shell on a countertop and removing the shells. Transfer the eggs to a bowl or plate.
Cut the eggs in half lengthwise and scoop the egg yolks into a small bowl. Add the mayo, vinegar, Dijon, half the bacon, dill, jalapeno, salt and pepper. Mash until well incorporated.
Spoon the egg mixture into a piping bag with ¼” tip. Remove the air from the bag and twist the top squeezing squeezing the filling into the egg whites. To serve, top each egg with a good sprinkling of bacon.

Spice level: If you would like to go extra-hot with the deviled eggs, you can leave the seeds in the jalapeno when chopping and include them in the recipe. For less spice, substitute the jalapeno with green bell pepper or omit it altogether.

Peeling the eggs: There are too many tips and tricks to achieve the perfect peeled eggs but to be honest, we have yet to find one that works every time. We find we get the best results by plunging the cooked eggs in an ice bath and peeling them within a couple of minutes.

Boiling the eggs: While the recipe calls for starting the eggs in cold water, if you prefer starting in hot water that is fine also; boil the eggs for 7-8 minutes, then transfer them to the ice bath for cooling and peeling.

Filling the eggs: If you don’t have a piping bag, cut a ¼” hole in the corner of a Ziploc bag and use it as you would a piping bag. You can also use a spoon if that is what works best for you.
