Hey there! I’m so excited to share this recipe for Whiskey Bacon Jam Deviled Eggs. If you’re looking for a way to jazz up your appetizer game, you’ve come to the right place. These aren’t your grandma’s deviled eggs (though, let’s be honest, grandma’s are pretty great too). This recipe combines the creamy, tangy goodness of classic deviled eggs with the rich, savory-sweet flavor of whiskey bacon jam1. Trust me, it’s a flavor explosion you won’t forget!
-
: The whiskey bacon jam adds a depth of flavor that takes these deviled eggs to a whole new level1.
-
: These are always a hit at parties and gatherings1.
-
: Despite the fancy flavor, these are surprisingly simple to whip up1.
-
: Perfect as an appetizer, snack, or even a light meal.
-
12 large eggs1
-
6 tablespoons mayonnaise1
-
2 teaspoons yellow mustard1
-
¼ cup whiskey bacon jam, divided1
-
1-2 tablespoons chives, chopped for garnish1
-
Kosher salt, to taste1
-
: In a large pot, arrange the eggs in one layer. Fill with water until about ½-inch above the eggs1. Bring the water to a boil, stirring occasionally to balance the yolks. Cover, remove from the heat, and let the eggs rest in the pan for 14 minutes1.
-
: Prepare an ice-water bath in a large bowl. Transfer the eggs to the ice water bath using a slotted spoon and let cool for 1 to 2 minutes1. Peel the eggs under water and pat dry with a paper towel1.
-
: Halve the eggs lengthwise using a sharp knife. Gently remove the cooked yolks with a small spoon and add them to a medium bowl. Set the egg whites aside1.
-
: Add mayonnaise, mustard, and 1 tablespoon of bacon jam to the yolks. Mash the yolks with a fork and stir to combine1.
-
: Pipe (or spoon) the yolk mixture into each of the egg white wells1. Top with a small dollop of whiskey bacon jam and chives1.
-
: Keep refrigerated until ready to serve1.
-
: Perfect for parties, potlucks, and holiday gatherings1.
-
: Enjoy a couple for a protein-packed snack.
-
: Serve with a side salad for a light lunch.
-
: For an extra homemade touch, try making your own mayonnaise1.
-
: If you prefer a less sweet flavor, reduce the amount of bacon jam in the filling.
-
: Add a dash of hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the yolk mixture for a kick.
-
: Experiment with different herbs like dill, parsley, or even a touch of tarragon.
-
: If you like bourbon, try using bourbon bacon jam instead of whiskey bacon jam2.
Absolutely! You can hard-boil the eggs in advance and store them in an airtight container, unpeeled, in the refrigerator for up to a week1. However, once you make the deviled eggs, they should be served right away1.
Deviled eggs will last up to 4 days in the refrigerator. But, they are best enjoyed within a day or two1.
Of course! If you’re short on time, store-bought bacon jam works just fine.
Don’t be afraid to play around with this recipe and make it your own. Whether you tweak the ingredients or add your own special touch, I hope you enjoy these Whiskey Bacon Jam Deviled Eggs as much as I do!1.
