Bacon Deviled Eggs With Caramelized Onions And Cheddar Cheese Recipes

Steps:

• Place eggs in a saucepan, and cover with cold water. Bring water to a boil and immediately remove from heat. Cover, and let eggs stand in hot water for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from hot water, and cool. To cool more quickly, rinse eggs under cold running water.
• Meanwhile, place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until evenly brown. Alternatively, wrap bacon in paper towels and cook in the microwave for about 1 minute per slice. Crumble and set aside.
• Peel the hard-cooked eggs, and cut in half lengthwise. Remove yolks to a small bowl. Mash egg yolks with mayonnaise, crumbled bacon and cheese. Stir in mustard. Fill egg white halves with the yolk mixture and refrigerate until serving.

Steps:

• Fry the peppered bacon in a pan over medium heat until crisp, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove to a paper-lined plate.
• Fill a large pot with enough water to cover the eggs, then bring to a boil (without the eggs). Using a slotted spoon, gently lower the eggs into the boiling water. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Run the eggs under cold water until completely cooled.
• Peel the eggs, cut in half and scoop out the yolks into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Add the mayo, cream, mustard, sugar and vinegar. Add hot sauce if using and salt and pepper to taste. Whip until smooth.
• Using a small spoon, fill each egg white half with a generous teaspoon of the filling. Lightly sprinkle with paprika. Cut the bacon into chunks and decorate the tops of the egg halves with a shard of bacon.

Steps:

• Halve eggs lengthwise. Spoon yolks into a bowl. Reserve whites.
• Mash yolks with fork. Add mayonnaise, honey-mustard, salt and pepper. Fold in bacon and cheese.
• Fill each half egg white with yolk mixture. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Steps:

• Heat a medium skilllet over low heat. When hot, add the butter and oil. When the butter has melted, add the onions. Sprinkle with the sugar. Cook over low heat for 30 minutes or more, stirring occasionally, until dark and caramelized. Don't stir too much or they won't brown, but watch so they don't burn or stick to the pan. Once the onions are caramelized, remove from heat and drain on paper towels.
• Hard-cook the eggs; once they're cool, peel them. Cut each egg in half; place the yolks in a mixing bowl, and the whites on a serving platter.
• Prepare the filling. With a fork, mash the yolks. Add the onions and about 1/2 cup of yogurt; stir to combine. Stir in more yogurt (up to 1 cup total) until the mixture is a creamy consistency. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
• Fill the eggs. I find the easiest way to do this is with a ziptop bag. Open the bag and fold the top over the outside. Scrape the filling into the bag, pushing the filling well into a bottom corner of the bag. Close the bag, making sure to get out as much air as you can. Cut a small hole in the bottom corner and gently squeeze the filling into each egg white. Top each appetizer with a sprinkle of chopped chives. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• TIPS: Everyone has their own methods of cooking and peeling eggs. I follow the steps on this site: http://whatscookingamerica.net/Eggs/BoiledEggs.htm It has all the info from the Incredible Edible Egg site, but all in one place. * Most people cut the eggs in half lengthwise. For a different presentation, cut them crosswise, then cut a tiny sliver off the bottom of each piece so it will sit without wobbling. (If a piece seems very shallow, you can hollow it out a bit more with a melon baller.) This is great if you don't have a serving platter specifically for deviled eggs. * I use a fork to make the filling because I like texture, and I want the little onion bits to show. If you prefer a perfectly smooth consistency, you can use a food processor. * If you're bringing the eggs somewhere, you can prepare the filling in advance, store it in the ziptop bag, then fill the eggs at the location. * Also, you can hard-cook the eggs ahead of time; hard-cooked eggs will keep in the fridge for several days.
• SUBSTITUTIONS: I use nonfat plain yogurt in an effort to use less fat, and Greek style because it's thicker. You could use mayonnaise, sour cream, or a combination. * The chives add a little flavor zing, and indicate that it's an onion-flavored dish. The measurement is approximate; I just put a pinch on each egg. Instead of chives you could use sliced green onion (scallion), and if you want to get fancy you could make green onion flowers.

Steps:

• Slice eggs in half lengthwise; remove yolks and set whites on a plate.
• In a small bowl, mash yolks.
• Stir in the mayonnaise, bacon, cheese, mustard and pepper.
• Stuff into egg whites.
• Cover and refrigerate until serving.
• *Note:As a substitute for honey mustard, combine 1-1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard and 1-1/2 teaspoons honey.

Steps:

• Place eggs in a small saucepan. Add cold water to the pot to completely submerge the eggs. Bring to a boil, then cover pot with a lid and turn off the heat. Let eggs sit in the hot water for 14 minutes.
• Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool. Peel the eggs.
• Slice eggs in half lengthwise and carefully remove the yolks. Transfer the yolks to a mixing bowl and set aside the halved egg whites.
• Mash the yolks with a fork until crumbly. Stir in the mayonnaise, vinegar, salt, and French's Yellow Mustard until the filling is smooth.
• Transfer the filling to a piping bag and pipe into the halved egg whites.
• Top the deviled eggs with the scallions, bacon, and cheddar cheese, dividing evenly. Top with freshly ground pepper and serve.
• Enjoy!
