Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large eggs (room temperature for easier boiling)
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp white vinegar
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 2 tbsp fresh chives, finely chopped
  • 4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise (for spicy sriracha mayo topping)
  • 1 tsp Sriracha sauce
  • 1 tsp lime juice
  • 1 ripe avocado, diced
  • 1 small tomato, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp red onion, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Juice of 1/2 lime
  • Salt to taste (for avocado salsa)
  • 3 tbsp pickled jalapeños, sliced
  • 2 tbsp pickled red onions

Instructions

  1. Place 12 large eggs in a single layer in a large pot. Cover with cold water about 1 inch above the eggs. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, then cover the pot and remove from heat. Let sit for 12 minutes.
  2. Transfer eggs immediately to a bowl of ice water to cool for at least 10 minutes. Gently tap and peel each egg, rinsing off any shell bits. Pat dry with paper towels.
  3. Slice eggs in half lengthwise and carefully remove yolks. Place yolks in a medium bowl and whites on a serving plate or tray. Mash yolks with a fork until crumbly.
  4. Add 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1 tsp Dijon mustard, 1 tsp white vinegar, salt, and pepper to the mashed yolks. Mix until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasonings if needed.
  5. Using a spoon or piping bag, fill each egg white half with the yolk mixture.
  6. Prepare toppings in small bowls or ramekins. Place them around the eggs so guests can choose their favorites.
  7. Let the deviled egg bar sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving. Keep leftovers refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Notes

Use the off-heat boiling method to avoid green rings around yolks. Fresh eggs are harder to peel; eggs a week old peel easier. Mash yolks with a fork for better texture than a food processor. Prepare eggs and filling a day ahead, but add fresh toppings just before serving. Keep toppings separate to preserve texture and flavor. Avoid microwaving leftovers; let come to room temperature naturally.
