Step 2

Mix 1/2 cup bacon, onion, dill pickle relish, mayonnaise, mustard, and bacon grease with the egg yolks using a fork; keep the yolks chunky. Stir in salt and black pepper.
Step 3

Scoop yolk mixture into 24 of the egg white halves. Sprinkle paprika and remaining 1/4 cup bacon on top.

Cook's Notes:

You can play with the amount of mayonnaise, mustard, onion, and dill relish to adjust the flavor. The key is to not make the filling too soupy with too much mayonnaise.

Chop the onion as finely as possible to avoid overwhelming the dish.

This was good. I only gave it 4 stars because the crunchy bacon made it seem like you were eating eggshells. Otherwise they were delicious. Read More
