Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 6 Hard Boiled Eggs, peeled and finely chopped
- ¼ cup Mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons Yellow Mustard
- 2 teaspoons Pickle insides (seeds and pulp scooped out)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh Dill, chopped
- ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
- ½ teaspoon Paprika
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Pickle Boats
- 4 Whole Dill Pickles, halved lengthwise
Toppings
- 4 slices Bacon, cooked until crisp and crumbled
- Optional garnish: additional fresh dill, chives, or a light sprinkle of smoked paprika
Instructions
- Prepare the Pickle Boats: Slice each dill pickle in half lengthwise. Using a small spoon, carefully scoop out the seeds and the middle part of each pickle half to create a hollow canoe shape. Set the pickle boats aside.
- Make the Egg Filling: Finely chop the hard boiled eggs and place them in a mixing bowl. Add the mayonnaise, yellow mustard, spooned out pickle insides, fresh dill, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix everything well until combined into a creamy filling.
- Assemble the Boats: Generously spoon the deviled egg mixture into each hollowed pickle half, filling them completely.
- Add Toppings: Sprinkle the crumbled crispy bacon evenly over the filled pickle boats. Garnish with additional chopped fresh dill, chives, or a light sprinkle of smoked paprika if desired.
- Serve: Chill the deviled egg pickle boats in the refrigerator before serving. Serve cold as a tasty appetizer or snack.
Notes
- Use fresh eggs to ensure the best texture and flavor.
- Adjust the salt and pepper according to your preference, as the bacon and pickles add saltiness.
- For a spicier kick, add a dash of hot sauce or cayenne pepper to the egg mixture.
- These can be made a few hours ahead and refrigerated to let flavors meld.
- For a low-fat version, use light mayonnaise or Greek yogurt.
