Why you’ll love these BLT Deviled Eggs
Easy BLT Deviled Eggs for Parties and BBQs
These are especially good for summer gatherings when you already have other BBQ food on the table. I love serving them with recipes like BLT Pasta Salad, Potato Salad with Bacon, and BBQ Sausage Bites because everything fits together really naturally for cookouts and casual parties.
Ingredients Needed for BLT Deviled Eggs
- Eggs: Large eggs work best for deviled eggs because they’re easier to fill and hold plenty of the creamy mixture.
- Mayonnaise: Mayonnaise gives the filling its creamy texture and helps everything blend smoothly together.
- Dijon Mustard: Dijon mustard adds a little tanginess and keeps the filling from tasting flat.
- Salt and Black Pepper: These simple seasonings help balance the richness of the eggs and mayo.
- Bacon: Cook the bacon until crispy so it holds up well on top of the eggs. Thick-cut bacon adds extra crunch and flavor.
- Cherry Tomatoes: Cherry tomatoes add freshness and color while keeping with the classic BLT flavor.
- Lettuce: Small pieces of romaine lettuce add texture and make these look extra fun for parties.
How to make BLT Deviled Eggs
**For more detailed instructions, please refer to the printable recipe card below.**
Add the eggs to a pot of water and bring to a boil.
Transfer the eggs to an ice bath and let them cool completely.
Slice the eggs in half and remove the yolks into a bowl.
Mix the yolks with the mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Spoon the filling into a piping bag fitted with a star tip.
Pipe the filling onto the egg whites. Top with bacon, lettuce, and tomato, then secure with a toothpick before serving.
Variations
- Add avocado:A small slice of avocado works really well with the BLT flavors. Add it right before serving so it stays fresh.
- Make them spicy:Add a little hot sauce or diced jalapeño to the filling for extra heat. Bacon and spice work really well together.
- Use turkey bacon:Turkey bacon works fine if you want a lighter option while still keeping that BLT flavor.
- Add cheese:A small sprinkle of shredded cheddar on top adds extra flavor and makes them feel even more like a loaded BLT.
- Try ranch seasoning:Mix a little ranch seasoning into the filling for a different flavor variation that works really well for parties.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve with summer BBQ food: These pair perfectly with burgers, grilled chicken, hot dogs, and BBQ recipes. They fit right in at backyard cookouts and 4th of July parties.
- Add them to an appetizer tray:Serve these with veggies, dips, chips, and small appetizers for an easy party spread. They also go really well beside BBQ Sausage Bites.
- Pair with summer side dishes:These taste great with BLT Pasta Salad, Potato Salad with Bacon, and Creamy Coleslaw if you’re building a full cookout menu.
- Serve chilled:Deviled eggs taste best cold straight from the fridge. Keep them chilled until ready to serve, especially during hot weather.
- Bring them to potlucks:These are easy to transport and always get attention because they look different than traditional deviled eggs.
Storage and Freezing
- How should I store BLT Deviled Eggs ?
Store leftover BLT Deviled Eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The lettuce is freshest during the first day, so these are best eaten fairly quickly after assembling. If you want to prep ahead, boil the eggs and make the filling earlier in the day, then add the lettuce, bacon, and tomatoes closer to serving time.
- Can I freeze BLT Deviled Eggs ?
Deviled eggs do not freeze well because the texture of the eggs and filling changes after thawing.

Tips & Tricks
- Use older eggs if possible: Slightly older eggs are usually easier to peel after boiling which helps keep the egg whites looking smooth.
- Cool the eggs completely: An ice bath helps stop the cooking process and makes peeling much easier.
- Dry the lettuce well: Extra moisture can make the tops watery over time, so pat the lettuce dry before adding it.
- Pipe the filling for cleaner presentation: Using a piping bag gives the eggs a cleaner look for parties and holiday trays.
- Cook extra bacon: A little extra bacon sprinkled over the tray right before serving makes these look even better.
