These bacon blue cheese deviled eggs are the perfect summertime BBQ addition. They’re full of flavor and packed with crunchy bacon.
Is there anything better than the combination of blue cheese and bacon? It’s so deliciously rich and flavorful.
But hear me out; I may have come up with the best trifecta of flavors! Blue cheese and bacon, all STUFFED into a deviled egg. Welcome to Flavor Town. Or something like that.
I used my Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs recipe to make the hard boiled eggs because it is my favorite foolproof egg recipe. They peel with ZERO sticking and come out perfectly cooked every time. Plus, it’s really hands-off, so that makes it even easier.
This deviled egg starts as most do with hard boiled eggs, mayonnaise, and mustard, but crumbled blue cheese, crispy, salty bacon, and just a touch of chives are added to the mix. The fresh herb addition puts this over the top.

My Pro Tip
Blue Cheese Deviled Egg Recipe Tips
To make things easier, you can use store-bought hard boiled eggs.
Use anything from a strong blue cheese to a milder gorgonzola for your cheese addition. Just make sure you crumble into small pieces so there is blue cheese in every bite.
Make this recipe up to 24 hours in advance.
Thick-sliced or peppered are my favorite bacon options.
If you can’t find chives you can use sliced green onions.

Bacon…eggs…cheese…there is nothing else in life that I need.
Oh, and sriracha is definitely not optional. That stuff is life!
Pinned!
I’m a HUGE egg fan, especially the deviled variety. I think this could very quickly become my favorite deviled variety. They look amazing, especially with that crispy bacon and squeeze of Sriracha!

There is no way on earth that I could control myself around these. I would devour them by the plate full! Oh, to heck with it… bring on the stretchy pants 🙂
