Print Recipe

A quick and easy appetizer featuring hard-boiled eggs filled with a creamy ranch-flavored yolk mixture and topped with crispy bacon. Perfect for potlucks, parties, or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
  • 6 slices bacon, cooked until crispy and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons ranch dressing (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise (full-fat recommended)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon chives or green onions, finely chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place 12 large eggs in a single layer in a large pot and cover with cold water by about an inch. Bring water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
  2. Once boiling, cover the pot and remove it from heat. Let eggs sit for 10-12 minutes.
  3. Using a slotted spoon, transfer eggs immediately to a bowl of ice water. Let chill for at least 5 minutes.
  4. Tap each egg gently on a hard surface and peel, starting from the wider end. Rinse peeled eggs under cold water to remove shell fragments.
  5. Slice each egg in half lengthwise and carefully scoop yolks into a mixing bowl. Mash yolks until smooth and crumb-free.
  6. Stir in mayonnaise, ranch dressing, Dijon mustard, and white vinegar. Mix thoroughly until silky and well blended. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Reserve half of the chopped bacon for topping. Stir the rest into the yolk mixture.
  8. Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves, mounding slightly.
  9. Sprinkle reserved bacon pieces evenly over the filled eggs. Add chopped chives or green onions if desired.
  10. Refrigerate deviled eggs for at least 30 minutes before serving to let flavors meld and filling set.

Notes

Use older eggs for easier peeling. Peeling under running water helps remove shell fragments. For a lighter version, substitute Greek yogurt for mayonnaise. Add a splash of milk or extra ranch dressing if filling is too thick. Prepare filling and whites separately if making ahead to keep bacon crispy. Avoid overcooking eggs to prevent green yolk rings.
