Around Easter time, hard boiled eggs are a dime a dozen so why not whip up something awesomelike these sour cream, chive, and bacon deviled eggs!

Let’s be honest: kids love decorating eggs for Easter. I whipped up a dozen eggs the other day for my daughter to paint and she was thrilled! They never seem to tire of it, which means more and more hard boiled eggs and egg salad sandwiches…

Sure, we could prick a hole into the shell and drain out the egg, but children are far from delicate and I know for a fact I would end up with more broken egg shells and one sad child.

To utilize the MANY leftover hard boiled eggs (I could only eat so many!) I decided to go with a spin on a classic: sour cream, chive, and bacon deviled eggs! That’s right, this is not your grandmother’s recipe!

Sadly, I am the only one who actually likes hard boiled/deviled eggs in this house so both my daughter and husband passed up on these. Since I included bacon, the vegetarian in me could not enjoy these, but my neighbor was more than happy to take these off my hands!

He also let me know that any future deviled egg creations were more than welcome in his house 🙂

Now, as awesome as these sour cream, chive, and bacon deviled eggs turned out, I had one heck of a time peeling the eggs. Arg, I was so frustrated in the end.

Usually I have this amazing technique and it all works out for the best; but I guess because I did not peel them right away and allowed them to sit overnight in the refrigerator I created some sort of breeding ground of terrible, resistant shells!

Let’s put it this way, but the end of peeling I was tempted to throw in the towel and re-boil another dozen!

Aside from that small hiccup, deviled eggs are super easy to make. Everyone has their preferred method when it comes to the boiling of the eggs, but I find I really like Martha Stewart’s technique. I have used it various times now and my eggs have always come out perfect (no green colour or under-cooked eggs.)

If you looking for a new twist on hard-boiled eggs, have you ever consider smoking them? Yep! Check out this recipe on my other blog for How to Make Smoked Hard Boiled Eggs!
