Bacon cheddar deviled eggs
I had some free time today (finally!) and decided to make deviled eggs to bring to work tomorrow. We're having this breakfast pot-luck party for a co-worker who recently got married. Everyone is bringing donuts, cookies, etc. I thought why not make something in advance and bring to work the next day. I found this recipe at allrecipes.com, this is a site I always go to for cooking ideas. I love it because you can read people's reviews and see if the recipe actually works. I've tried normal deviled eggs before but this one calls for cheddar and bacon. Bacon makes everything taste good!
Ingredients:
12 eggs
1/2 cup light mayo
4 slices bacon
2 tablespoons finely shredded Cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Directions:
1. If you have time, turn the eggs lengthwise the night before so when you boil them, the yolk is perfectly centered.
2. Put eggs in a pot with cold water. Bring water to a boil and immediately turn off the heat and let the eggs sit in the hot water for about 15 minutes. Remove from hot water and place them in a pot of cold water, I put ice in the water to make it cool faster. Ice also makes peeling the egg shells faster and easier.
3. You can brown bacon on a skillet but I put them in a paper towel and cook in the microwave. One minute per slice. I used a food chopper to make bacon bits.
4. Peel the egg shells and cut in half lengthwise. Remove yolks in a bowl. Use a fork to mash egg yolks, add mayo, Dijon mustard, chopped bacon and cheese.
5. To fill the egg whites, you can use the cark decorating utensils to make it fancy. Sprinkle some paparika and you're done! Refrigerate it until the next day.
