My husband’s favorite food is deviled eggs, true story. Yet, I rarely make them, not sure why that is. I decided to remedy that. I wanted nightshade free, interesting version of deviled eggs to call my own, so I made fried garlic and bacon deviled eggs!

Fried Garlic?
Fried Garlic?Yes! Adding bacon to deviled eggs is a no-brainer. I also LOVE garlic, but raw garlic would be too harsh. While I had a skillet full of hot bacon grease, it occurred to me that I could FRY IT! Then toasted, golden, crispy minced garlic morsels could grace these eggs too. The deviled egg filling has the classic smoothness from mayo and mustard but it’s littered with a tiny crispy bit that makes these extra delicious
How To Boil Eggs like a Pro
I like to bring a large pot of water to a rapid boil. I add a bit of vinegar to the water. I gently add the 10 large eggs to the water with a wooden spoon and cook for 10 minutes at a rapid boil. Then I remove from the heat, drain the water from the pot and quickly fill it with cold water and ice. Let the eggs sit in ice water for 2 minutes before peeling.
How to Make Fried Garlic + Bacon Deviled Eggs
You need to start by frying up your bacon until crispy. Then in the leftover bacon grease, fry minced garlic. Let it all cool down while you boil the eggs. Then you slice your eggs in half and carefully remove the yolks. Once you’ve got all the yolks in a bowl, add in the mayo, mustard, salt, pepper, minced up bacon and garlic. Mix and mash it all up and then scoop it into the whites.
