How to Make Hard Boiled Eggs on the Stove and Instant Pot
We can’t talk about deviled eggs without talking about how to make the perfect hard-boiled eggs! If you are like me, you’ve tried EVERY method for boiling eggs and always fallen short. That is until I was introduced to the steaming method. Steaming eggs leaves them perfect every time, and incredibly easy to peel.
You can steam eggs on both the stove top and using the Instant Pot. Using the Instant Pot to cook hardboiled eggs is 100%, hands-down, my first choice because the shells peel off so easily! If you haven’t tried cooking eggs in the pressure cooker, be prepared to be amazed!
As you can see, we piped our filling, which makes them look extra fancy, but have no fear, you don’t need to if you don’t have the tools! You can fill up a plastic bag with the egg yolk filling and snip the end to pipe, or you can use a small spoon to scoop up something filling and use a second spoon to knock the filling in place!
Can you make deviled eggs in advance?
Deviled eggs can be prepared up to two days ahead of time. Wrap the egg white halves well and keep the egg yolk filling sealed in a resealable plastic bag with all the air squeezed out! If desired you can keep the filling separate and pipe into eggs right before serving.

Deviled Eggs with Bacon and Chives
Ingredients
- 12 eggs hard boiled and peeled (see notes)
- 4 slices of bacon about 4 ounces, cooked and chopped
- ½ cup good-quality mayo
- 2 tablespoon chives finely chopped, divided
- 2 teaspoons dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- pinch fine sea salt
Instructions
- Peel and slice the eggs in half lengthwise and take the yolks out and place into a mixing bowl. Place the egg whites on a serving platter and set aside.
- Using a potato masher or fork, mash the egg yolks into a uniform paste. Add cooked bacon, mayo, 1 tablespoon chives, dijon mustard, vinegar, garlic powder, black pepper and combine. Check the seasoning and add salt if desired.
- Place the filling into a piping bag and pipe into the center of the egg whites.
- Garnish with remaining chives and serve.
This one is a keeper! I get asked to make these at all my family gatherings. Don’t skip the piping, it helps make them look so cute! Only tip I would add in my experience is make sure you chop the bacon super small so it doesn’t get stuck in the piping tip.
Yum! I love anything with eggs! This looks fantastic!
