Bacon Dill Deviled Eggs

Easy Southern Bacon Dill Deviled Eggs Recipe

It's likely to come as no surprise when I say that we enjoy deviled eggs in the South. The classic Southern style version that we call "Simply Delicious"  is what I make most often but, once in a while I'll make an adjustment to the ingredients to change things up a little. Variety is the spice of life, right?  I can't imagine a single holiday, family, church or office potluck gathering that wouldn't have a variety of deviled eggs to enjoy.

How to Make the Best Bacon Dill Deviled Eggs Recipe

The filling mix-in options for deviled eggs are numerous and the sky's truly the limit. You're only limited by your imagination. Get creative and have fun with your deviled eggs flavors.

• Ingredients needed to make easy Bacon Dill Deviled Eggs: 8 large eggs, cooked and crumbled bacon, mayonnaise, pickle relish, horseradish mustard, fresh dill, salt and black pepper. To garnish, fresh sprigs of dill and bacon.
• There is a substitute for mayonnaise for deviled eggs. For those in your family who may have an aversion to mayonnaise in the filling, mashed avocado will work like a charm.
• In this variation, the horseradish in the mustard lends a subtle bite to the filling. You could adapt using Dijon or whole grain mustard.
• The smokiness of the bacon and tangy dill together all combine to provide a nice twist on flavors. The bacon can be made in advance and crumbled to expedite assembling. Reserve a small amount for garnishing as pictured. To make it easy checkout my recipe for easy Oven Fried Bacon. 
• These eggs are especially tasty for special occasion meals or when you want something a bit different to serve as an appetizer when entertaining guests.
• Store deviled eggs in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
