Why We Love This Recipe For Spinach and Bacon Deviled Eggs

This Spinach and Bacon deviled eggs are wonderfully savory with some of my favorite breakfast flavors wrapped up into an elegant little appetizer that’s worthy of any type of get together. The creamy filling is made with tangy Greek yogurt, hearty deli mustard, baby spinach and of course, bacon. The kiddos inhaled a few all while giggling about the fact that they were eating green eggs – Dr. Seuss style.

The intention of these deviled eggs with bacon was to serve them around the holidays, but honestly, they’re great for any time of the year. If you’re in a time crunch and have to make a fancy appetizer, these are perfect because they only take about 30 minutes. You could also make them as a snack, because hey! Lots of protein.

I’m embarrassed to admit that I often pigeonhole deviled eggs into Spring and Summer. It starts at Easter when I begin to whip up batches of classic deviled eggs (without mayo), to adventurous twists like these spicy deviled eggs. Then Fall rolls around and my deviled egg-making fades drastically in the light of all the apple and pumpkin goodness. So, this year, I wanted to make a conscious effort to bring my beloved deviled eggs to the Winter holidays.

Key Ingredients for this Recipe

Eggs

I suggest using large eggs here. They should be hard boiled so that the yolk crumbles and mixes easily with the rest of the ingredients, and then cut in half lengthwise.

Greek yogurt

Plain fat-free Greek yogurt is used instead of mayonnaise in this recipe. It adds extra protein to the snack, and is much healthier!

Baby spinach

Baby spinach is what give these beautiful appetizers their green coloring. You won’t taste it too much, so if there are veggie-avert kids around, you can promise them they won’t notice a difference.

Bacon

Eggs and bacon is a classic combination, so you know I had to top these babys with crisped cooked bacon. And not only that, but bacon is also mixed into the deviled egg mixture.

Additional Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons deli style mustard
  • 1-2 teaspoons lemon juice (to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • kosher salt and black pepper
