Jenny's Meaty Deviled Eggs image

The inspiration behind this recipe is my love of bacon and my love of deviled eggs! Put the two together and it is M-A-G-I-C! The recipe makes quite a bit of filling. Even with generous applications to the eggs, there should still be some left over.

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 dozen boiled eggs, peeled
1 can(s) (12 oz.) spam with bacon, cubed, browned, blotted & minced
1/2 - 3/4 c bacon bits (reserve 24 large pieces)
1/2 - 3/4 c mayo (light or regular)
2 tsp honey mustard
1 pinch sea salt or kosher salt
1 pinch freshly ground black pepper
1/2 - 1 tsp lemon juice
1/8 tsp liquid smoke flavoring
5 dash(es) sweet jalapeno juice (optional)
1-1/2 tsp granulated white sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Cut the eggs in half lengthwise and pop the yolks into a medium mixing bowl. Set the whites aside.
  • 2. Mince the Spam and bacon bits, then brown in skillet or pan; blot excess grease. To the bowl with the yolks, add the meat mixture and mayonnaise. With a pastry knife or the back of a fork, mash all ingredients together until the mixture is relatively smooth.
  • 3. Add the liquid smoke, lemon juice and honey mustard. Mix well, adding a little salt and pepper to your liking. If the mixture is too stiff, add small amounts of mayo and honey mustard to achieve desired taste & consistency.
  • 4. Spoon or pipe the filling back into the egg whites. For decoration, place a large bacon bit piece on top of each egg. Or, if you prefer, dust the tops of the eggs with paprika or pico de gallo.
  • 5. Cover and refrigerate, ideally, for at least 2 hours before serving.
