Ingredients

  • 12 large eggs
  • 3 slices bacon
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter, if needed
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 heaping tablespoon chopped scallions, plus more scallions, thinly sliced, for garnish
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Place eggs in a large saucepan; add water to cover by 1-inch. Bring to a boil, cover, and remove from heat. Let sit for 10 minutes. Drain. Transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water and let cool completely, about 10 minutes; peel. Halve lengthwise and remove yolks.

Coarsely chop bacon. Cook in a medium skillet over medium heat until browned and crisp. Transfer bacon to paper towels. Strain drippings through a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl. Add melted butter if needed to measure 2 tablespoons.

Finely mash reserved yolks, bacon fat (and/or butter), mayonnaise, mustard, and chopped scallions in a medium bowl; season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Transfer to a large resealable freezer bag, then cut 1/2-inch off 1 corner. Pipe into whites; garnish with thinly sliced scallions and reserved bacon.

Skip the bacon if you like and substitute 2 tablespoons melted butter instead.
