Bacon Chipotle Deviled Eggs Recipes are packed with scrumptious, smoky flavors. They're lovely for brunch, an hors d'oeuvre at a cocktail party, a game day snack, lunch, and the list goes on.
Inspiration
A few current food trends: matzo dishes, artsy eggs, and fun deviled eggs. (Just to name a few.)
Which means the obvious, of course -- it's spring, and Easter and Passover are on the horizon.
Enter: Bacon Chipotle Deviled Eggs
If you've been reading Cooking On The Weekends for a while, you know how much I love smoky flavors -- and that I think "smoky" makes recipe titles sound much more delicious. (It's true.)
What's in Bacon Chipotle Deviled Eggs?
- eggs (of course!)
- crema Mexicana
- chipotle pepper adobo sauce
- tomatoes
- extra virgin olive oil
- chives
It's those few ingredients that pack an incredible amount of delicious flavor into an egg!
These eggs have it going on. And by "it" I mean they're creamy, rich, packed with flavor and they're fun!
This is one of the best deviled eggs recipes I've tasted!
Ever.
When to Serve Bacon Chipotle Deviled Eggs
These would be a delicious addition to any brunch. How about for Easter? They would also be a super fun hors d'oeuvre for a cocktail party, and fabulous for a luncheon of any sort.
I highly suggest serving Matzo Brei à la Florentine for Passover.
I hope you love these as much as my family and I do!

Bacon Chipotle Deviled Eggs
Ingredients
- 2 strips bacon
- 6 hard boiled eggs, peeled (click here for How to Hard Boil Eggs)
- 3 tablespoons Crema Mexicana (see notes)
- 1 tablespoon chipotle pepper adobo sauce, seeds removed - just use the sauce, not the peppers themselves
- 2 tablespoons tomatoes, washed and dried, seeds removed, finely chopped, divided
- 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon chives, washed and dried, finely chopped
Instructions
- Add the bacon to a sauté pan over medium heat. Cook until it's brown and crisp, about 3 minutes per side. Remove it from the pan. Set it aside to drain on a double layer of paper towels.
- On a clean dry surface, carefully slice the eggs in half lengthwise. Very gently remove the yolks from each egg half and add them to a small mixing bowl.
- Place the empty egg white halves on a serving platter - round side down. If they slide around too much, you can very gently slice a sliver off of the bottom to make a base -- being sure not to cut through to the opening!
- Use a fork to mash the yolks and then add the Crema Mexicana and adobo sauce (from chipotle peppers in adobo sauce).
- Crumble the bacon into tiny pieces and add half of it to the yolk mixture. Then add 1 tablespoon of the tomatoes and the oil, and mix until everything is evenly blended. Now season to taste with salt and pepper. (Here's How to Season to Taste.)
- With two teaspoons or a tiny cookie scoop (about 1-inch), equally divide yolk mixture into the openings of the egg white halves.
- Add the remaining half of the crumbled bacon and the 1 tablespoon of tomatoes to a small bowl. Stir in the chives and mix. Add a bit of this mixture to the top of each egg.
- Serve!

I adore deviled eggs and yours look like perfection!
Valentina
Hi Cathy! Thanks so much. Hope you love them. 🙂 ~Valentina

These were fantastic! I was skeptical because I've never made deviled eggs without mayonnaise and my secret ingredient (stolen from Julia Child) butter, but these were wonderful. I used creme fraiche because I didn't have Mexican crema, but they were delicious and I will definitely be making them again, soon!
Valentina
Hi Indra. Thank you so much for writing in. I'm so happy these were a hit! Creme Fraiche is a great sub. Yum. 🙂 ~Valentina
