Football Shaped Bacon Deviled Eggs
These football-shaped deviled eggs have become a cherished tradition at Diane's Big Game watch parties over the past five years, earning their place as a must-have appetizer that perfectly captures the spirit of game day celebrations. The clever football design not only adds a festive touch to the game day spread but also showcases how a traditional appetizer can be reimagined with a playful sporting twist.
Ingredients
1 package Eggland's Best Hard Cooked Peeled Eggs (6 eggs)
1/3 cup mayonnaise (plus 1 more tablespoon for decorative lacing)
1/2 teaspoon sweet pickle juice
1 pinch fine table salt
5 strips crispy bacon, finely diced
1 tablespoon classic yellow mustard
Preparation
- Slice the hard-boiled eggs lengthwise to create two equal halves.
- In a bowl, combine 1/3 cup mayonnaise, yellow mustard, pickle brine, and salt. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well-blended.
- Carefully spoon the prepared filling into each egg half cavity, ensuring even distribution across all 12 pieces. Create a smooth surface while leaving a thin border around the edges.
- Sprinkle the diced bacon over each filled egg half, gently pressing to form a football shape.
- Transfer the remaining tablespoon of mayonnaise into a small plastic bag. Cut a tiny corner to create a piping tip.
- Pipe a straight line down the center of each egg lengthwise to represent the football's center stripe.
- Add 3-4 short lines of mayo across the center stripe to create football laces.
