Pro Tips for Perfect Loaded Deviled Eggs
-
Steam instead of boil for easy peeling
Steamed eggs are less likely to crack and much easier to peel than boiled ones. -
Use a piping bag or Ziploc
For cleaner, prettier filling, use a piping bag or snip the corner off a Ziploc to pipe yolk mixture into egg whites. -
Let the filling chill before serving
It allows the flavors (especially the bacon and chives) to meld better and makes piping easier. -
Use sour cream for richness, or buttermilk for tang
Both work beautifully — choose based on your flavor preference. -
Crisp the bacon well
Soft bacon will become chewy in the creamy filling. Crisp bacon holds up better and gives a great crunch.

How long do deviled eggs last in the fridge?
- Store them in an airtight container for up to 2 days. After that, the texture may start to break down.
