What To Serve With It

I love pairing deviled eggs with crispy bacon strips for that extra crunch, and a fresh garden salad is always a great way to balance the meal. The salty bacon complements the creamy eggs perfectly, while the salad adds a rejuvenating touch. You can’t go wrong with these simple, flavorful sides!

Crispy Bacon Strips

A few crispy bacon strips can take your deviled eggs from good to unforgettable. The bacon flavor adds a smoky richness that pairs perfectly with the creamy filling, while the crispy texture gives each bite a satisfying crunch. I love crumbling the bacon into small pieces and sprinkling it on top of the eggs for a burst of flavor in every mouthful. It’s a simple addition, but it makes such a difference. Plus, it’s a crowd-pleaser—everyone seems to light up when they see bacon on the table. Trust me, once you try it, you’ll never skip this step again.

Fresh Garden Salad

Nothing balances the rich, creamy taste of deviled eggs like a crisp, revitalizing garden salad. I love tossing together fresh ingredients—crunchy lettuce, juicy tomatoes, and crisp cucumbers—for a light, revitalizing side. A simple vinaigrette or tangy ranch dressing ties the flavor combinations together perfectly. Sometimes, I’ll add a handful of nuts or crumbled cheese for extra texture. It’s a no-fuss dish that lets the veggies shine, and it pairs so well with the bold taste of deviled eggs. Trust me, this salad brightens up any plate, making every bite feel balanced and satisfying.
