Perfectly Cooked Hard Boiled Eggs
The first step is to master the art of hard boiling your eggs.
To perfectly hard boil your eggs make sure you follow these instructions as closely as possible.
First take your eggs out of the fridge and let them sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes.

Next bring a pot of water to a rolling boil – and add in 2 tablespoons of white vinegar to make it easier to peel the eggs afterwards.
Gently lay your eggs into the pot slowly, to avoid cracking upon placement.
Boil your eggs for 9 minutes and 15 seconds – and afterwards dunk in an ice bath for at least 3 minutes.
Then peel off the shell and slice your eggs in half lengthwise, separating the hard boiled yolks into a mixing bowl.

Prep the Filling
Into your mixing bowl, add the following ingredients.
- Hard Boiled Egg Yolks
- Mayonnaise
- Grey Poupon Dijon Mustard
- Tobasco Brand Chipotle Sauce
- Crumbled Bacon Bits
- Soften Butter
- Wright’s Liquid Smoke
- Bourbon
- Horseradish

Mix thoroughly until all components are evenly blended and the mixture becomes a smooth paste.

Spoon the creamy filling into the plastic Ziplock bag, cut off the tip – and pipe the filling into the egg whites, using a mounding or swirling technique.
Putting It All Together
To the base deviled eggs, dust on some paprika, add in a snippet of chive and a couple of thinly sliced gherkins pickle.

Serve immediately and enjoy these Million Dollar Deviled Eggs!
