Step-By-Step Instructions

Step 1: Hard boil the eggs.

Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10-12 minutes. Remove the eggs from the heat and immediately place them in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, peel the eggs.

Step 2: Make the filling.

Cut the eggs in half lengthwise and remove the yolks. Mash the yolks in a bowl with a fork. Add in Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, finely diced jalapeño peppers, and salt and pepper. Mix the ingredients well.

Step 3: Cook bacon.

Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Drain on a paper towel and chop into small pieces.

Step 4: Assemble the eggs.

Using a spoon or a piping bag, fill the egg whites with the yolk mixture. Top each egg half with a sprinkle of bacon and a sprinkle of paprika.

Step 5: Serve.

Serve the deviled eggs on a platter, garnished with additional chopped bacon and jalapeño if desired.
