Ingredients:
- 9 Hard-Boiled Eggs
- 1/4 Cup + 2 Tablespoons Mayonnaise (Approximately)
- 1 Tablespoon Honey
- 2 Teaspoons Fresh Chives, Finely Chopped (Additional for Garnish)
- 1 Teaspoon Chili Powder
- 1/4 Teaspoon Kosher Salt
- 1/4 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1/4 Teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- 1/4 Teaspoon Ground Cumin
- 1/4 Teaspoon Paprika
- 3 Slices of Thick-Cut Crispy Bacon, Finely Chopped or Crumbled
Directions:
- Halve the deviled eggs lengthwise, placing the yolks into a food processor.
- Add 1/4 cup mayonnaise, honey, chives, chili powder, salt, garlic powder, pepper, cumin, and paprika to the food processor. Process until smooth. If needed, add the 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise one at a time, until the perfect deviled egg consistency is reached.
- Spoon the filling into each egg well, or fill a resealable bag with the filling, snip off the end, and then pipe the mixture into the well of each egg. Garnish with bacon and additional finely chopped fresh chives.
Suggestions:

- This recipe calls for 9 hard-boiled eggs instead of 6 or 12. Why? Because sometimes you just don’t have enough people to help you eat 12 and sometimes 6 just isn’t enough.
- I always use extra-large eggs when making deviled eggs. If you are using smaller eggs, you may need to adjust the amount of mayonnaise used in this recipe, to prevent the filling from turning runny.
- If your filling does become too runny, try adding extra hard-boiled egg yolks. It’s never a bad idea to boil a few extra eggs when you’re making deviled eggs. If you mess up one or two eggs while peeling them, you’ll have a couple to use as replacements. And, if your filling is too runny, you can use the extra yolks to solve that dilemma.
- If you don’t have fresh chives available, use 1 teaspoon of dried chives in the egg filling and omit the fresh chives as a garnish.
- I use a food processor for this recipe so that the deviled egg filling is smooth. If you don’t mind the filling being chunky, you can mash the egg filling with a fork in a small bowl.
Improvements:
- Replace the honey in this recipe with chili-infused hot honey.
- Replace the fresh chives in this recipe with fresh parsley.
- Top each deviled egg with a small grilled shrimp or fold finely chopped shrimp into the deviled egg filling.
