12 large eggs, hard-boiled, cooled, and cut in half

6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled, plus additional for garnish

2 tablespoons mayonnaise

2 tablespoons finely grated cheddar cheese

2 teaspoons chopped fresh chives, plus additional for garnish

1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

1 teaspoon dry mustard

¼ teaspoon garlic powder

¼ teaspoon kosher salt

¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

DIRECTIONS

Remove the egg yolks from the egg halves. Place the yolks in a medium bowl, then add the bacon, mayonnaise, cheese, chives, vinegar, dry mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper and stir to combine. Stir in 5 tablespoons sour cream, check the consistency, and add 1 more tablespoon if needed. Scoop the yolk mixture into the egg halves and pile high. Arrange the eggs on a platter, sprinkle with paprika, bacon, and chives, and serve.
