Ingredients
Scale
Eggs
- 6 large eggs
Filling
- 1/4 cup plant-based mayo
- 3 slices smoked turkey bacon, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (natural)
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Garnish
- Fresh chives, finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika (natural)
- Optional: small pieces of smoked turkey bacon for topping
Instructions
- Boil and Peel the Eggs: Place large eggs in a saucepan filled with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer gently for 10 minutes. Carefully drain the hot water and immediately fill the pot with cold water to cool the eggs quickly for easier peeling. Once cooled, gently peel the eggs and set them aside.
- Prepare the Filling: Slice the peeled eggs in half lengthwise and scoop out the yolks into a mixing bowl. Add plant-based mayo, finely chopped smoked turkey bacon, Dijon mustard (natural), apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper. Mash and whisk the filling until it is smooth and creamy.
- Fill the Egg Whites: Using a spoon or piping bag, fill each egg white half generously with the creamy yolk mixture, forming an oval-shaped mound. Be generous as this filling is the star of the dish.
- Garnish: Lightly sprinkle paprika (natural) over each filled egg and top with freshly chopped chives. Optionally, add a small piece of smoked turkey bacon on top for extra flavor and presentation.
Notes
- Use older eggs for easier peeling.
- Blend the filling just enough to keep a light and fluffy texture, avoiding a paste-like consistency.
- Chill filled eggs for at least 30 minutes before serving to meld flavors and slightly firm the filling.
- Use a piping bag for a cleaner, professional presentation.
- Adjust salt, pepper, and acidity to taste before filling the egg whites.
