Preparation

Step 1

Slice eggs in half lengthwise; carefully remove yolks, keeping egg white halves intact. Process yolks, mayonnaise, mustard, and lemon juice in a food processor 30 seconds or until smooth, stopping to scrape down sides as needed.

Microwave bacon according to package directions until crisp; crumble. Stir bacon, chives, pepper, and salt into yolk mixture.

Spoon yolk mixture into a zip-top plastic freezer bag (do not seal). Snip 1 corner of bag to make a small hole. Pipe yolk mixture into egg white halves. Garnish, if desired.
