A fun and flexible deviled egg bar featuring a creamy yolk filling and five unique toppings, perfect for entertaining and customizable to suit all tastes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled (room temperature preferred for easier peeling)
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar or apple cider vinegar
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 4 slices bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onions, quick-pickled in vinegar and sugar
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
  • 1/4 cup toasted pumpkin seeds, lightly salted

Instructions

  1. Place the eggs in a single layer in a large pot and cover with cold water about 1 inch above the eggs. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat.
  2. Remove the pot from heat and cover with a lid. Let eggs sit for exactly 12 minutes for firm yolks.
  3. Drain the hot water and immediately transfer eggs to an ice bath or cold water to stop cooking. Cool for at least 5 minutes.
  4. Tap eggs gently on a hard surface and peel under running water to remove shells easily. Pat dry with a paper towel.
  5. Slice eggs in half lengthwise and gently remove yolks into a mixing bowl. Mash yolks with a fork until crumbly.
  6. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper to the yolks. Mix until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste. Add a teaspoon of water or more mayo if mixture is too thick.
  7. Fill the egg white cavities with the yolk mixture using a spoon or piping bag, mounding slightly.
  8. Arrange small bowls of each topping (bacon crumble, pickled onions, fresh chives, sriracha, toasted pumpkin seeds) for guests to customize their eggs.
  9. Serve immediately or chill for up to 24 hours. Bring to room temperature about 15 minutes before serving for best flavor.

Notes

Use eggs that are at least a week old for easier peeling. Cool eggs in an ice bath immediately after boiling to prevent greenish yolk rings. For a smoother filling, push yolks through a fine mesh sieve before mixing. Keep filling mounded but not overfilled to avoid eggs toppling over. Prepare eggs and filling in advance but assemble just before serving to keep whites from getting soggy.
