I love deviled eggs, but this version completely blew me away! The filling was so creamy and flavorful, and the crispy bacon on top took it over the edge.
Why use butter? What does it do?
I find it adds to the overall filling flavor and the richness of texture, but you can just sub extra mayonnaise instead.
This disappeared so fast. It was a hit!!
