Is it deviled or devilled? Which way do you spell it? American or British. After some research, I have decided to spell it “devilled” (British version). Language is funny, with so many variations of the same word. If you want to keep it simple, just call them stuffed eggs.
There are so many delicious devilled egg variations. Simply adding bacon to anything makes it taste better. The sun-dried tomato garnish adds a subtle depth of flavour. The classic bacon and tomato pairing takes the basic stuffed egg to a new taste experience.
What’s In Devilled Eggs?
Really simple ingredients. You will need:
- 12 hard-boiled eggs
- mayonnaise
- bacon bits (store-bought or homemade)
- sea salt
- dry mustard
- sun-dried tomatoes (in oil)
The Best Way To Hard Boil Eggs And Peel Them
This seems to be an issue for people. I don’t know about you, but I use the cold water method. There are so many ways to make the perfect boiled egg.
I have tried several myself to find out which works best for me. I rarely have any crack during the cooking process this way. One thing I have to do is set a timer or I forget to get them out of the water on time. When this happens (and it still does now and again) I end up with that not-so-nice dark ring around the yolk.
Do you have the perfect way to peel an egg? This is the part I struggle with ALL the time. I don’t like it when the whites are full of craters.
Preparing Bacon Flavoured Devilled Eggs
- Boil the eggs and place in the fridge to cool
- Peel, cut in half, and scoop out the yolks
- Mash the yolks and add the mayo, seasonings, and bacon bits
- Fill
- Garnish with the sun-dried tomatoes
- EAT!
Tips For Making The Best Deviled Egg Appetizer
For this recipe, I used store-bought bacon bits (feel free to make your own), but these did work well. Candied bacon would be a great choice too.
How far in advance can you make deviled eggs? I hard-boiled them a couple of days before. The night before the party I made the filling and kept it in a separate bowl. You can either mix the filling by hand or use a food processor if you want a silky smooth consistency.
I placed the cooked and cut whites in a sealed container. On the morning of the party, I just had to fill and garnish. This way you don’t have to struggle to peel them when you are rushed for time.
Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.
The filling can be done in several ways. The easiest way is with a pastry bag and a large star tip, but you can do it the old-fashioned way (like I did here) with a small spoon or fork.
There are many ways to flavour classic devilled eggs. This recipe uses bacon and sun-dried tomato. Feel free to experiment. Great suggestions are:
- dill pickles
- cheese
- chili powder or sriracha (if you like things spicy)
- balsamic vinegar
- add some bacon and tomato jam to the egg mixture
- garnish with fresh herbs, bagel seasoning, or any spice blend you like
- use flavoured mayo in the mix
For your next party, give these loaded devilled eggs a try. Your guests will LOVE you, trust me!!

I love a good deviled egg. Great idea to do flavors of the classic BLT. They are always the first thing gone at parties!
Homemade & Yummy
I know…I always have to make LOTS.
Rezel Kealoha
I love deviled eggs but I never make them because I am the worst egg peeler in the world! Your recipe just sounds delish.
Homemade & Yummy
Peeking the eggs is the WORST part of the whole thing.
Tiffany
They look delicious! I like the addition of sun-dried tomatoes on top. I agree they are a crowd pleaser. I usually have family fight over who will get the last deviled egg!
Homemade & Yummy
Yes…I try to make extra just in hopes I will have leftovers.
Catherine Brown
I’ve never tried putting sundried tomatoes on deviled eggs. I bet this is delicious! Nice photos too! 🙂
Homemade & Yummy
Thanks so much. These are delicious and addictive.
Sarah
I’m gonna need you to come over and show me how to peel the eggs lol. I just CANNOT seem to get them to peel easily- I always just give up and eat the eggs! If I need boiled eggs, I outsource that to the husband haha!
Homemade & Yummy
It can be a painful process….but so delicious.
Emely @ theblushfig.com
As much as I loved devilled eggs I have never attempted to make them. I can’t wait to try as these look so good. I usually add a little baking soda to the water when the eggs are boiling and then they are no so hard to peel.
Homemade & Yummy
Well there are so many great tips, hopefully you find one that works well for you.
Stephanie

These look great! My favorite! I didn’t like deviled eggs when I was a kid but now I love them too much. They make a great healthy snack!
Homemade & Yummy
I have always loved devilled eggs….and these are a keeper for sure.
Arlene Mobley
I would love these Deviled Eggs but I am afraid my family would riot if I changed up my normal Deviled Eggs recipe.
Homemade & Yummy
Don’t cause a riot….just make what they like. That would happen if I changed up Christmas morning breakfast too.
Sam | Ahead of Thyme
Yum!! I love deviled eggs! Just in time for my holiday brunch.
Homemade & Yummy
I think I need to make another batch.
Samantha H.
Yum! Reminds me of a BLT, but in egg form. I wish I had hard-boiled egg peeling skills like this!
Homemade & Yummy
Yes they are so good….and do not last long. Peeling the eggs is the hardest part of all.
Cynthia
I agree that everything tastes better with a bit of bacon! I don’t usually eat eggs like these as I am not very fond of the white part, but if the filling is this delicious I might give it a try!
Homemade & Yummy
Hope you give them a try…you just might like them.
Anne-Marie
I struggle with spelling too! Especially because I’m Dutch and blogging in English. I keep getting my English and American words mixed up. I totally agree that devilled eggs never go out of style and these look so delicious!
Homemade & Yummy
HAHAH spelling is a whole other topic for sure. Sometimes I just want to make up my own words.
Elizabeth | The Recipe Revival
I love the addition of the tomatoes on top! I could eat that whole plate! They look so yummy!
