Ingredients
Scale
Eggs
- 6 large eggs
Filling
- 3 slices smoked turkey bacon
- 1/4 cup plant-based mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (natural)
- 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped
Garnish
- Smoked paprika (natural), for sprinkling
- Extra fresh chives, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the Eggs: Gently place large eggs in a single layer in a pot and cover with cold water by an inch. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat and let them sit covered for 12 minutes. Once done, transfer eggs to an ice water bath for at least 5 minutes to cool and make peeling easier.
- Peel and Halve the Eggs: Carefully tap each egg on a hard surface to crack the shell, then peel under cool running water. Slice each egg in half lengthwise and gently remove the yolks into a bowl, placing the whites on a plate.
- Prepare the Filling: Mash the yolks with a fork until crumbly. Add plant-based mayonnaise, Dijon mustard (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), apple cider vinegar (natural), salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until the filling is smooth and creamy.
- Add Smoked Turkey Bacon and Chives: Finely chop the smoked turkey bacon and fresh chives. Fold them gently into the yolk mixture to distribute evenly without mashing the bacon too much, preserving its delightful texture.
- Fill the Egg Whites: Use a spoon or piping bag to fill the egg whites with the creamy yolk mixture. Aim for a generous portion that’s both visually appealing and satisfying to eat.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle each Deviled Egg with smoked paprika (natural) and a few extra chives for a pop of color and mild smokiness. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator until ready to enjoy.
Notes
- Stick to the 12-minute resting time after boiling for firm yolks that don’t develop a green rim.
- Use an ice water bath to stop cooking and make peeling easy and mess-free.
- Beat the yolk mixture until fully creamy to avoid any lumps for that dreamy texture.
- Use a piping bag for neater and more attractive filling presentation.
- Customize boldly with additional herbs, spices, or toppings to match your palate.
