    Deviled eggs is a favorite around here. If you've been around the blog long enough, you'll notice a pattern. Latina Mom Meals loves flavor! And these simple Tajin deviled eggs with bacon are no different. It's an extra level, as always! 

    How do you make the perfect eggs for deviled eggs?

    For the past year there's only one way I choose to make deviled eggs. The fail-proof way to create the perfect boiled eggs is by using an Instant Pot. You can put as many as a dozen in at once and it's literally timed on high pressure for 5 minutes. No babysitting, worrying if it's reached the boiling point etc. As soon as the 5 minutes are done, hit quick release, add your eggs to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking and you have a perfect batch of boiled eggs for making a deviled eggs recipe. No green line!

    Tips For Perfect Deviled Eggs

    • Cook the eggs in an Instant Pot for 5 minutes. If you rather use a stove top method, follow these recommendations from The Pioneer Woman.
    • Add a splash of white vinegar to your water while cooking. This was a tip passed down to me from a beloved mentor Pat whom I miss dearly. Adding vinegar to the water for making deviled eggs helps make peeling eggs much easier.
    • Place eggs in ice water for 2 minutes after cooking to stop the cooking process. This helps ensure there are no yucky green lines. Perfection at every bite!
    • Make a few extra eggs. Seriously. You always have that one egg (or 2 or 4 if you're me with kids running around).
    • Use large eggs. This is the perfect size for deviled eggs!
    • Wipe your knife between each cut with a damp paper towel or cloth. This keeps your cuts clean for a professional look.
    • Use a pastry or Ziploc bag for filling the egg cavities with the yolk mixture. So much prettier than using the spoon method.
    • Serve immediately. You can prep the eggs, just don't fill the eggs until you're ready to serve. 
    • Make it your own. Add minced veggies, a certain spice or herb, etc. Cooking is fun! Deviled eggs are like a blank canvas, have fun!

      I didn't know you could use the instant pot to cook eggs this way. I'm definitely going to try and see if I can get it right.
