These Chipotle Bacon Deviled Eggs are taken to a whole new level! The chipotles add the perfect amount of smokiness and a little spicy kick!
Deviled eggs are a popular side dish all year long. Bring these to Easter dinner or your next potluck dinner.
Tips for making deviled eggs!
Bring eggs to a boil. Turn off heat and cover with a lid and let sit for 20 minutes. Drain the hot water and run cold water over eggs. Peel.
Make sure you get the yolk filling nice and crumbly without any yolk chunks. That will give you the smoothest filling.
Use a Ziplock baggie to put the egg mixture in and cut a tiny hole in the tip. Squeeze the filling into the eggs, super easy and they look pretty!
You can make these ahead of time if needed, keep the filling in the baggie until needed. Just squeeze the filling in and garnish right before serving.
Can Chipotle Bacon Deviled eggs be made ahead of time?
You can prepare deviled eggs up to two days before. But you have to keep the yolk mixture separate from the egg whites. Keep the yolk mixture in a ziplock baggie with all the air squeezed out. Store the whites in an airtight container until ready to assemble.

Peel eggs and slice eggs lengthwise. Scoop out the yolks and place them in a small bowl. Using the back of a fork, mash the yolks until they are crumbled.
Add in the mayonnaise, chipotle, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until combined.
Spoon the mixture into the eggs or put the mixture into a Ziplock baggie, push all the filling into the corner. Snip the corner off, and squeeze the filling into the eggs.
Top with bacon and parsley.
Notes
You can substitute 1/4-1/2 teaspoon chipotle powder for the chipotle in adobo if desired. If you plan on using a baggie to squeeze the filling into the eggs you need to make sure the chipotle is chopped fine or else it is better to use the powder.
I'm 69 and have been searching my entire life for the perfectly cooked hard-boiled egg. I found it! STEAM eggs for 15 mins. Place in ice water for 15 mins. Done! No ring, just perfect yellow. Dry and refrigerate.
I've even forgotten them in the ice water and they still turned out great!
