Ingredients

  • 6 eggs hardboiled
  • 3 slices bacon cooked and crumbled to bits
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, minced
  • 2 stalks green onion chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Halve each of the eggs from end to end.

  • Remove the yolk and place in medium sized bowl.

  • Pulverize the yolk and mix in the remaining ingredients: bacon, mayonnaise, sun-dried tomatoes, and most of the green onion. Save a small amount of the green onion for garnish. Stir until the the mixture appears smooth and ingredients are evenly distributed.

  • Taste the yolk mixture and add salt and pepper to taste. If you prefer a creamier mixture, take this opportunity to fine tune the taste and texture by blending in more mayonnaise.

  • Fill the wells of the egg whites with the yolk mixture. You can spoon the yolk mixture into the wells, but I prefer to use a piping bag to evenly disperse the mixture. I find it easier and more aesthetically pleasing.

  • Garnish with the remaining green onion and arrange on a serving platter or storage container.

  • Chill until ready to serve.
