Bacon-Topped Deviled Eggs + Land O Lakes Giveaway!

When I can bring my serving plate home empty, I take it as a sure sign that my potluck dish was a hit. And if my fellow guests even want to abscond with the serving plate itself (because it’s that cool)?? Well, that’s a whole new level of potluck success for me.

I brought these Bacon-Topped Deviled Eggs, from a recipe on the Land O Lakes website, to the end-of-the-year party for our preschool board. At home, I tend to be a bit of a deviled egg purist – very simple, classic recipe with nothing more than a shake of paprika on top. But for this board party I thought it would be fun to branch out a little bit, incorporating sour cream into the yolk mixture (this made them a bit paler in color, but extra light in texture) as well as scallions (I grew them in my windowsill!) and, of course, crispy crumbled bacon. Dare I say I enjoyed these even more than the original?

Bacon-Topped Deviled Eggs
We’re big deviled egg fans in our house but I usually don’t consider bringing them to potlucks because they need to stay cold. Land O Lakes sent me a deviled egg server that’s been ingeniously designed with an ice compartment in the base. Each egg stays nice and chilled in its own little well, no more slipping and sliding around. What a terrific idea! As part of their Bite-Sized Brunch celebration, they’d like to send one of these awesome trays to a lucky Cooking On the Side reader, as well as a mini muffin pan and two-tier server (these items, from Crate and Barrel and Williams-Sonoma, are valued at more than $100). Read on for details on how to enter! [THE GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED]

    I love eggs baked into goodies like cookies and cakes! 🙂 Otherwise I’d take them sunnyside up with a side of toast. Yum!

    I like to make egg muffins (filled with sausage, onions, peppers, cheese, etc) for brunch or a large crowd because they can all be made at once and no standing over a skillet while everyone waits for their serving.

    favorite egg prep is called Sow’s ear pancake ,Sow’s Ear Baked Apple Pancake

    Combine melted butter with eggs, milk, granulated sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, salt and flour. Beat until mixed.

    Heat butter with apple slices in a skillet until sizzling and slightly cooked. Pour in batter. Sprinkle top with brown sugar and bake at 450 degrees for 25 minutes or until well browned and puffed. Dust with powdered sugar. Cut into wedges and serve.

  9. Eggs are one of my favorite foods because they are so versatile! I’d say anything with a runny yolk is my favorite. But scrambled, in baked goods, hard boiled, they always taste amazing!

  13. The best eggs are lightly fried and runny on the inside with a sprinkle of salt and a wee bit of cayenne. Love a runny egg.

    I absolutely love deviled eggs in almost any form (maybe not with anchovies). The deviled egg server looks fabulous. Second favorite is eggs cocotte in the ramekins with cheese and cream.

    My favorite way to have eggs is a comfort food for me. My dad used to take a can of corn (or fresh if it was available) and fry it in butter , add a little touch of honey and pepper and cook it till it would start to caramelize while it was cooking he would scramble some eggs in a bowl and then add them to the corn. O my garsh! So good! But eggs are good any way you fix them!

  33. We LOVE Deviled Eggs and will be making them this holiday weekend. I’m definitely going to be giving this recipe a try. Bacon & Deviled Eggs….yes please!

  34. Honestly, deviled eggs are my FAVORITE and only way that I eat eggs. Hubs loves sunny side up, though… so I make both kinds quite often 🙂

    Eggs! They’re not just for breakfast! Main dish meal– egg rolls made with eggs combined with bread crumbs, onion, and parmesan cheese, fried & rolled, then cooked in your favorite tomato sauce and served with pasta. Yummy! Pour some of the batter over thin slices of eggplant and top with a second slice of eggplant and fry same as the egg rolls. A terrific sandwich, hot or cold! Requested for every Birthday menu in our family!

    Argh, that’s tough – I think my favorite way to eat eggs is tied between devilled eggs (my Aunt makes these amazing ones with dill instead of paprika) and quiche. Cuz you just can’t go wrong with either.

    I stumbled upon your blog today through Foodgawker, and I love it! My favorite way to eat eggs these days is to bake them in the oven in individual ramekins. You can top the egg with whatever you have on hand, and the presentation is beautiful in the ramekins!

    I love eggs cooked in any fashion. I can’t choose my favorite, I love hard boiled, over easy, omelets, in soup, salads and sandwiches. They are my to go to food when I don’t feel well or I want something light. I think my favorite way to eat eggs is trying someone else’s recipe and cooking!

    I love eggs. Pretty much any way you can possibly cook an egg, I like it. But I would have to say it’s a toss up between deviled eggs and poached eggs for my favorite way to eat them. You just can’t go wrong with eggs really! 😀
