To cook the hardboiled eggs, place the eggs in a medium-size pot. Fill the pot with water just until the water covers the eggs. Add the salt. Bring the water to a boil, place the lid on the pot, and turn off the heat. Let the eggs steam/cook (with the heat turned off and the lid on the pot) for 10 minutes. This is the perfect time to fry the bacon! After 10 minutes, drain the water from the eggs. Run each egg under cool water and peel. OR use the Instant Pot method (find that recipe here).
Cut each egg in half and scoop the yolk into a medium-size bowl. Set the egg whites to the side. Mash the egg yolks with a fork.
To the egg yolks add: mayonnaise, dijon mustard, chopped bacon slices (reserve a tablespoon or two for garnishing the eggs), parsley, and salt and pepper (if needed). Gently stir the ingredients together.
Spoon or pipe (using a bag with a tip) the egg filling into the center of each egg white. Garnish with with the third slice of chopped bacon and extra parsley.
Notes
Serve the eggs at room temperature or refrigerate for several hours. Either way, these deviled eggs are amazing! Easy Bacon Deviled Eggs are a great meal to prep in advance and enjoy for breakfast, a snack, or lunch.
