Creamy pumpkin-infused deviled eggs topped with crispy, smoky bacon crumbles. A unique twist on a classic appetizer perfect for fall gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, hard-boiled, peeled, and sliced in half
  • 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree (unsweetened canned or homemade)
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • Pinch of ground cinnamon
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 slices bacon, cooked until crispy and crumbled
  • Chives, finely chopped
  • Smoked paprika for garnish

Instructions

  1. Place 6 large eggs in a medium saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a gentle simmer for 9-11 minutes. Once cooked, transfer the eggs to an ice water bath and let them cool for at least 5 minutes.
  2. While the eggs are cooling, cook 4 slices of bacon in a frying pan over medium heat until crispy. Remove from the pan and place on paper towels to drain. Once cool, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
  3. Carefully peel the cooled eggs and slice them lengthwise. Gently remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl.
  4. To the egg yolks, add 2 tablespoons of pumpkin puree, 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar, a pinch of ground cinnamon, and a dash of salt and pepper. Mash everything together with a fork or whisk until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  5. Either spoon the filling into the egg white halves or use a piping bag for a neater presentation.
  6. Sprinkle each deviled egg with crumbled bacon, a pinch of smoked paprika, and chopped chives for color and flavor.
  7. Arrange the eggs on a platter and serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve. They’re best enjoyed chilled.

Notes

[‘Start with cold water when boiling eggs to prevent cracking and ensure even cooking.’, ‘Use older eggs for easier peeling.’, ‘Mash yolks thoroughly for a creamy filling; use a food processor for extra smooth texture.’, ‘Cook bacon on medium heat and flip frequently for even crispiness, or bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15 minutes.’, ‘Pipe or spoon the filling carefully to avoid messy eggs.’]
