Deviled eggs are a party favorite — but when you load them with bacon, cheddar, chives, and sour cream, they become a next-level appetizer everyone raves about.
This Loaded Deviled Eggs recipe is the perfect combination of creamy, smoky, and tangy. It’s inspired by everything you love about a fully loaded baked potato — but packed neatly into a bite-sized egg half.
Whether you’re hosting brunch, planning holiday appetizers, or simply craving a savory snack, these deviled eggs deliver big flavor with minimal effort. Best of all? You’ve got two variations to try — one with sour cream and one with buttermilk, each adding a unique texture and flavor profile.
Just hard-boiled eggs, a few kitchen staples, and some crispy bacon are all you need. The filling is creamy, cheesy, and just a touch tangy. And that sprinkle of paprika on top? It seals the deal.
We’ll walk you through every step — from perfect yolk prep to how to pile them high and pretty. So grab your eggs, let’s get cracking!
1# Cheddar Bacon Chive Deviled Eggs:
Ingredients:
large eggs (hard-boiled, cooled & halved)
6 slices bacon (cooked crisp & crumbled)
2 teaspoons fresh chives
2 teaspoons white vinegar
2 tablespoons finely shredded mild cheddar cheese
1⁄4 cup sour cream or 1⁄4 cup buttermilk
paprika
Instructions:
1 ) Transfer egg yolks from halves to mixing bowl & combine with remaining ingredients.
2 ) Add the sour cream or buttermilk last & use more as needed to reach desired smoothness.
3 ) Spoon yolk mixture into halves. The bulk will have grown substantially, so pile it high & “dust” with a sprinkle of paprika.
2# Ranch Bacon Cheddar Deviled Eggs:
Ingredients:
12 hard-boiled eggs, peeled
1/2 cup of Naturally Fresh Classic Ranch dressing
1/2 cup shredded ch
8-10 strips of cooked bacon
3 tbsp. Dijon mustard
pinch of salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1 ) Place eggs in a single layer on the bottom of a medium sauce pan. Cover with water, about one inch. Over medium-high heat, bring water to a rolling boil. Allow to cook for 10-12 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside for another 10 minutes. Drain under cool water and peel off shells.
2 ) Slice eggs in half and carefully remove the yolks. Place yolks in a small bowl and mash into fine pieces with a fork.
3 ) Combine mashed yolk with ranch dressing, mustard, shredded cheese, and crumbled bacon. Leave 1-2 pieces of bacon whole to be used during assembly. Add salt and pepper to taste. Mix until creamy.
4 ) Transfer mixture to a piping bag or plastic sandwich bag to fill the egg whites.
5 ) Top with a sprinkle of cheese and chives. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Remove and add a crispy bacon wedge to the top. Serve and enjoy!
Pro Tips for Perfect Loaded Deviled Eggs
Steam instead of boil for easy peeling
Steamed eggs are less likely to crack and much easier to peel than boiled ones.
Use a piping bag or Ziploc
For cleaner, prettier filling, use a piping bag or snip the corner off a Ziploc to pipe yolk mixture into egg whites.
Let the filling chill before serving
It allows the flavors (especially the bacon and chives) to meld better and makes piping easier.
Use sour cream for richness, or buttermilk for tang
Both work beautifully — choose based on your flavor preference.
Crisp the bacon well
Soft bacon will become chewy in the creamy filling. Crisp bacon holds up better and gives a great crunch.
Can I make loaded deviled eggs ahead of time?
Yes! Prepare them up to 1 day in advance, but store the filling and whites separately for best texture. Assemble just before serving.
Can I use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream or buttermilk?
Yes! Greek yogurt is a great substitute for a protein-packed twist and a little extra tang.
How long do deviled eggs last in the fridge?
Store them in an airtight container for up to 2 days. After that, the texture may start to break down.
Can I add other toppings?
Absolutely. Try topping with pickled jalapeños, hot sauce, crispy shallots, or even a drizzle of ranch for more flavor variations.
Are deviled eggs keto-friendly?
Yes! These loaded deviled eggs are low in carbs and high in fat, making them a great snack for keto or low-carb diets.
