Ingredients

12 hard boiled eggs
⅓ cup mayonnaise (or more to desired consistency)
2 tablespoons Challenge Butter (melted, salted or non-salted both work)
2 teaspoons yellow mustard
2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish (optional)
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground pepper
2 tablespoons crispy crumbled bacon (or bacon bits)
1 tablespoon freshly chopped chives

Instructions

Step 1: Peel the hard boiled eggs and cut each in half lengthwise. Arrange the egg whites on a plate or platter with the cut side facing up.
Step 2: Place the yolks in a medium bowl. Add mayonnaise, melted Challenge Butter, yellow mustard, sweet pickle relish (if using), salt, and pepper. Mix well until combined. For an extra smooth texture, use a hand mixer or blender.
Step 3: Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg whites.
Step 4: Top each filled egg with crispy crumbled bacon and freshly chopped chives.
Step 5: Chill the deviled eggs for up to 6 hours before serving, or enjoy immediately.

Tips & Variations

Use a piping bag for a cleaner presentation and easier filling of the egg whites.
Add a dash of smoked paprika on top for a subtle smoky flavor and vibrant color.
Substitute bacon with finely diced ham or omit for a vegetarian version.
Adjust mayonnaise to your preferred creaminess, adding more if needed.
For a tangier twist, try swapping yellow mustard with Dijon mustard.

Storage

Store deviled eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. For best texture and flavor, consume within one day. When ready to serve, let them sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes. Avoid freezing as the texture of the eggs and filling will be affected.

How to Serve

The image shows several deviled eggs placed closely together on a white plate over a white marbled surface. Each deviled egg has three visible layers: the smooth, glossy white egg white outer layer forms a hollow base; the middle layer is a soft, creamy pale yellow filling, swirled to form a small peak in the center; the top layer consists of small, crispy reddish-brown bacon bits and bright green chopped chives sprinkled over the filling. The eggs are uniformly cut in half, displaying the neat layers clearly. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Eggs

12 hard boiled eggs

Deviled Egg Filling

⅓ cup mayonnaise (or more to desired consistency)
2 tablespoons Challenge Butter (melted, salted or non-salted both work)
2 teaspoons yellow mustard
2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish (optional)
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground pepper

Toppings

2 tablespoons crispy crumbled bacon (or bacon bits)
1 tablespoon freshly chopped chives

Instructions

Prepare the Eggs: Peel the hard boiled eggs and cut each one lengthwise in half. Arrange the egg whites on a plate or platter with the cut side facing up to create a base for the filling.
Make the Filling: Place the yolks in a medium bowl. Add the mayonnaise, melted Challenge Butter, yellow mustard, sweet pickle relish (if using), salt, and ground pepper. Mix everything together until well combined. For an extra smooth texture, you can use a fork to mash or a hand mixer/hand blender to blend the mixture.

Serve or Chill: The deviled eggs can be served immediately or chilled in the refrigerator for up to 6 hours prior to serving to enhance flavors and ensure they are cool and refreshing.

Notes

To achieve the smoothest filling, blend the yolk mixture thoroughly using a hand mixer or immersion blender.
Sweet pickle relish adds a subtle sweetness but can be omitted if preferred.
Use freshly cooked and crispy bacon for the best texture contrast.
If you prefer a lower fat version, substitute mayonnaise with a lighter mayo or Greek yogurt, though this will alter the classic flavor slightly.
Deviled eggs are best enjoyed within 6 hours of preparation for optimal freshness and safety.
