How to Make Bloody Mary Deviled Eggs
1. Prepare the Garnishes
Cut the celery into 1-inch pieces. From three of those pieces, slice into thin strips for garnish. Slice the olives in half.
2. Cook the Bacon
Cut bacon into quarters and cook in a medium skillet over medium heat until crisp. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
3. Hard-Boil the Eggs
Place eggs in a medium saucepan and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and boil for 10 minutes. Turn off the heat, cover with a lid, and let sit for 10 minutes.
Drain and rinse under cold water to cool. Gently tap and roll to crack the shells, then peel. Rinse again to remove any shell fragments.
4. Slice the Eggs
Slice the eggs in half width-wise (not lengthwise). Trim a tiny bit from the bottom so each half sits flat on a serving plate.
5. Make the Filling
Remove yolks and place in a small bowl. Mash thoroughly with a fork until smooth.
Stir in:
- Mayonnaise
- Lemon juice
- Tomato paste
- Hot sauce
- Celery seed
- Salt and pepper
Mix until creamy and fully combined.
6. Pipe the Filling
Fit a piping bag with a 9 FT tip and fill with the yolk mixture. Pipe generously into each egg white.
7. Garnish
Insert a thin celery stick into each egg. Add one piece of crispy bacon and finish with a green olive half.
8. Chill
Refrigerate until ready to serve for best flavor and texture.
Tips for Perfect Deviled Eggs
- For easier peeling, use eggs that are at least a week old.
- Shock eggs in ice water immediately after boiling to prevent overcooking.
- For extra heat, add more hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne.
- For a smoother filling, use a hand mixer instead of a fork.
Make-Ahead & Storage
These Bloody Mary deviled eggs can be made up to 24 hours in advance. Store in a covered container in the refrigerator. For best texture, add bacon just before serving to keep it crisp.
Leftovers should be refrigerated and enjoyed within 2 days.
Variations
Extra Spicy: Add horseradish to mimic classic Bloody Mary flavor.
Mild Version: Reduce hot sauce and Tajín.
Loaded Style: Add a tiny cube of sharp cheddar.
Brunch Board Addition: Serve alongside shrimp cocktail for a full Bloody Mary theme.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use smoked paprika instead of Tajín?
Yes. Smoked paprika adds depth and a subtle smoky flavor, though Tajín adds citrusy heat.
Can I make these without bacon?
Absolutely. They’re still flavorful without it and can be made vegetarian by skipping the bacon.
Why slice the eggs width-wise?
Slicing width-wise creates a taller, cocktail-inspired presentation and allows for more filling and garnish.
