Source of Recipe


From "Southern Living Annual Recipes 2009"



List of Ingredients



• 1 dozen large white eggs, hard-cooked and peeled
  
• ½ cup mayonnaise
  
• 2 tsp Dijon mustard
  
• 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
  
• 7 fully cooked bacon slices
  
• 2 Tbsp plus 1 tsp chopped fresh chives
  
• ¾ tsp freshly ground pepper
  
• ¼ tsp salt
  
• Garnish: chopped fresh chives; fully cooked, crumbled bacon
  






Instructions



1. Slice eggs in half lengthwise; carefully remove yolks, keeping egg white halves intact. Process yolks, mayonnaise, mustard, and lemon juice in a food processor 30 seconds or until smooth, stopping to scrape down sides as needed.
   
   
2. Microwave bacon according to package directions until crisp; crumble. Stir bacon, chives, pepper, and salt into yolk mixture.
   
   
3. Spoon yolk mixture into a zip-top plastic freezer bag (do not seal). Snip one corner of bag to make a small hole. Pipe yolk mixture into egg white halves. Garnish, if desired.
   
   Makes 12 servings.
