Mise en Place
- Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil over high heat.
- Place the eggs in a single layer in the pot and lower the heat to medium-low. Simmer the eggs for 12 minutes, then transfer them to a large bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process and make them easier to peel.
- Peel the eggs and cut them in half lengthwise. Carefully remove the yolks and place them in a small bowl. Set the whites aside on a platter.
- Cook the bacon in a small skillet over medium-high heat until crisp, turning occasionally, for about 15 minutes. Drain the bacon on a paper towel-lined plate and let it cool slightly. Chop the bacon into small pieces and set aside.
- Mash the egg yolks with a fork until smooth. Add the mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper, and mix well. Transfer the mixture to a piping bag or a ziplock bag. If using a ziplock bag, snip off one corner with a scissors.
- Pipe the yolk mixture into the egg whites, filling them generously. Sprinkle the bacon pieces over the filling.
- Spoon a small amount of caviar on top of each deviled egg. Garnish with chives.
Serving Instructions
- Serve the bacon deviled eggs with caviar chilled or at room temperature, on a platter or individual plates.
- Enjoy as an appetizer or a snack, with crackers, bread, or salad, if desired.
Plating and Garnishing
- Arrange the deviled eggs on a large platter or individual plates, in a single layer or overlapping slightly.
- Sprinkle some more chives over the platter or plates, for extra color and flavor.
- You can also add some lemon wedges, parsley, or dill, for more freshness and contrast.
Tips and Notes
- To make the eggs easier to peel, add some vinegar or baking soda to the boiling water. This will help loosen the shell from the egg white.
- To make the eggs more uniform and neat, trim off a thin slice from the bottom of each egg white, so they can stand upright on the platter or plates.
- To make the filling more smooth and creamy, you can use a food processor or a blender to puree the egg yolks and the other ingredients, instead of a fork.
- To make the filling more tangy and spicy, you can add some horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, or hot sauce, to taste.
- To make the filling more cheesy and savory, you can add some grated Parmesan cheese, cream cheese, or blue cheese, to taste.
- To make the filling more herbaceous and aromatic, you can add some chopped fresh parsley, dill, basil, or tarragon, to taste.
- You can use any type of bacon you like, such as regular, thick-cut, turkey, or vegetarian. You can also use ham, prosciutto, or salami, instead of bacon, if you prefer.
- You can use any type of caviar you like, such as black, red, golden, or salmon. You can also use roe, such as tobiko, masago, or ikura, instead of caviar, if you prefer.
- You can make the deviled eggs up to a day in advance, and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Just add the caviar and chives on top right before serving, and let them come to room temperature for about 15 minutes, for the best flavor and texture.
