Ingredients

Scale

Eggs

  • 8 hard boiled eggs, peeled and halved

Filling

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tsp dill pickle juice
  • 1/2 tsp yellow mustard (or dijon mustard), or to taste
  • Pinch of salt, or to taste
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper
  • 1/8 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 baby dill pickles, very finely diced

Topping

  • 1/8 tsp paprika, to garnish
  • 3 oz bacon (4 strips), chopped and browned

Instructions

  1. Prepare Eggs: Cut the peeled hard boiled eggs in half lengthwise and place them on a serving platter, ensuring the yolk side is facing up.
  2. Make Filling: Carefully remove the yolks with a spoon and transfer them to a medium mixing bowl. Mash the yolks to a fine crumb using a fork.
  3. Mix Filling Ingredients: Add mayonnaise, dill pickle juice, mustard, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to the mashed yolks. Mix and mash together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  4. Add Pickles: Gently fold in the finely diced dill pickles, mixing thoroughly. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
  5. Fill Egg Whites: Spoon a generous teaspoon of the yolk mixture into each egg white half, generously filling the cavities.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle paprika evenly over each deviled egg and top with a pinch of the crispy browned bacon bits. Serve immediately or chill until ready to serve.

Notes

  • Use fresh eggs for best peeling results when boiling.
  • The dill pickle juice adds a tangy flavor; adjust quantity to your preference.
  • Customizable toppings: try chives or smoked paprika as alternatives.
  • Make ahead: Prepare filling and assemble deviled eggs a few hours before serving and keep refrigerated.
  • To crisp bacon, cook in a skillet over medium heat until browned and crispy, then drain on paper towels.
