The unique flavor profile of these Carnivore Deviled Eggs is what makes them a standout. The creamy bacon mayo blends harmoniously with the savory egg yolks, while the ground beef adds a hearty texture and a depth of flavor not commonly found in traditional deviled eggs. The fish sauce, a small but impactful addition, enhances the umami profile without overpowering the dish. Each bite offers a satisfying blend of crispy bacon, seasoned beef, and rich yolk, bound together by a creamy, bacon-flavored mayo that’s the epitome of indulgent, carnivore-friendly comfort food.
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 4 slices of bacon
- 4 oz ground beef
- 2 tbsp bacon mayonnaise (homemade or store-bought)
- 1/4 tsp fish sauce (optional but adds a deep umami flavor)
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Cook the Eggs:
- Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with water.
- Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 9–10 minutes.
- Once the eggs are fully cooked, transfer them to a bowl of ice water for a few minutes to cool, making them easier to peel. Once cooled, peel the eggs and set them aside.
- Prepare the Bacon and Ground Beef:
- While the eggs are cooling, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until it’s crispy. Set aside the bacon on a paper towel-lined plate, reserving the bacon grease in the skillet.
- In the same skillet, add the ground beef. Season lightly with salt (keeping in mind the fish sauce will add saltiness) and cook until fully browned and crumbly. Remove the beef from heat and let it cool.
- Make the Filling:
- Cut the peeled eggs in half lengthwise, and carefully scoop out the yolks into a mixing bowl.
- Add the ground beef, crumbled bacon, bacon mayonnaise, and fish sauce to the bowl with the egg yolks. Mash the ingredients together with a fork or use a food processor for a smoother texture.
- Taste the filling and adjust the salt if necessary.
- Assemble the Deviled Eggs:
- Spoon or pipe the beefy filling back into the egg whites.
- For extra garnish and flavor, sprinkle a bit more crumbled bacon or add a touch of bacon mayo on top if desired.
- Serve:
- These deviled eggs can be served immediately or chilled in the refrigerator for about an hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
