Notes
Storage: These deviled eggs are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
When making these deviled eggs, be careful not to overmix the filling; you want it to be creamy but still have some texture. For a kick of extra flavor, consider garnishing with a sprinkle of smoked paprika or even some crispy bacon bits.
If you want to make these eggs ahead of time, prepare the filling and store it separately in the fridge. Just fill the egg whites right before serving to keep them fresh.
