[Foodie Friday Recipe] Deviled Eggs With Chilies & Bacon

Wow your friends at your next potluck or picnic with these amazing gourmet deviled eggs!

Summer is the season for potlucks, and no potluck is complete without deviled eggs!

This unique recipe puts a twist on an old classic, so you won’t show up with the same old mustard-and-mayo recipe as everyone else.  The silky filling is topped with serrano chilies, bacon, and chives, for a punch of flavor in every bite. Steaming the eggs ensures a perfect peeling experience – no more picking bits of shells out of the whites and risking leaving your poor eggs looking all chewed up!

Use eggs from pastured chickens for gorgeous, healthy orange yolks and higher Omega-3 fatty acid content, and pastured or naturally-raised bacon for a healthier addition.

This recipe makes 5 servings, but can easily be doubled to feed a crowd. Bring these along for the 4th of July picnic, or just break them out at your next pot luck – you can be sure they’ll fly off the plate!
