Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup cooked spinach, chopped
  • 2 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Paprika for garnish

Directions

  2. Step 2: Drain the hot water and transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water. Let them cool for a few minutes before peeling.
  3. Step 3: Once cooled, carefully peel the eggs and slice them in half lengthwise. Gently remove the yolks and transfer them to a separate bowl.
  4. Step 4: Mash the egg yolks with a fork until smooth. Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chopped spinach, bacon, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are combined.
  5. Step 5: Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves. Sprinkle with paprika for garnish.
  6. Step 6: Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
  7. Step 7: Serve chilled and enjoy!
