00:02These deviled eggs are anything but ordinary, with a delicious mix of smoky bacon, tangy dill pickle juice, and creamy egg yolks.
00:12The bacon adds crunch, while the pickle gives a perfect tang to balance the richness.
00:17They disappear fast at potlucks or game days, leaving you known as the deviled egg person.
00:23And that's a reputation worth having.
00:25For the hard-boiled eggs, use 8 large eggs, preferably farm-fresh for richer yolks.
00:32Add kosher salt to the boiling water, then cool the eggs in ice water once cooked.
00:37For the filling, combine 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of dill pickle juice, 2 teaspoons of Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard, and 1 teaspoon of honey or agave nectar.
00:49Stir in 2 tablespoons of minced dill pickle and 1 tablespoon of minced fresh dill.
00:56Season with kosher salt and pepper to taste, and garnish with extra pickles and fresh dill.
01:00For the topping, use 2 strips of bacon, cooked until crispy and finely chopped.
01:06Garnish with additional minced dill pickle and fresh dill sprigs.
01:10Place 8 large eggs in a pot, cover with water, and 1 half teaspoon kosher salt to avoid cracking.
01:15Bring to a rolling boil, remove from heat, cover, and let sit for 12 minutes for perfectly set whites and creamy yolks.
01:23While eggs rest, prepare ice water and plunge hot eggs into the ice bath for 20 minutes to cool thoroughly.
01:29This shock prevents overcooking and a gray yolk ring.
01:33Gently peel eggs from the wider end, cut them in half lengthwise with a clean knife.
01:38Scoop out yolks with a spoon, placing them in a bowl, and arrange whites cut side up.
01:42Add 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise to egg yolks and blend until smooth.
01:47Fold in minced dill pickle and fresh dill, seasoning with kosher salt and pepper.
01:51Beat the mixture using a handheld mixer for 2-3 minutes until it's lush and lump-free.
01:56Spoon or pipe filling into each egg white half, mounding slightly.
02:01Use a piping bag with a star tip, or a zip-top bag with a snipped corner for a professional look.
02:08Top with crispy chopped bacon, dill pickle, and dill sprig.
