Ingredients

Scale

Deviled Egg Filling

  • 6 large eggs
  • 3 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup cooked chicken, shredded
  • 3 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Chives or green onions, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Boil the eggs: Place eggs in a pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove eggs and cool under cold running water or in an ice bath to stop cooking.
  2. Prepare eggs: Peel cooled eggs and slice each in half lengthwise. Carefully remove yolks and place in a medium bowl. Set egg whites aside on a serving plate.
  3. Make filling: Mash the egg yolks with softened cream cheese until smooth. Add shredded chicken, crumbled bacon, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined and creamy.
  4. Fill egg whites: Using a spoon or piping bag, evenly distribute the filling into each egg white half, neatly filling the cavity where the yolk was removed.
  5. Chill and serve: Refrigerate the filled deviled eggs for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and the filling to firm up. Garnish with chopped chives or green onions before serving, if desired.

Notes

  • Make sure to cool eggs completely before peeling to avoid tearing the whites.
  • The filling can be adjusted with spices such as paprika or cayenne for extra flavor.
  • Bacon can be substituted with turkey bacon for a lighter option.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and consume within 2 days for best freshness.
  • For a smoother filling, use a food processor to blend the yolk mixture.
