Step 1: Prep Eggs & Yolks
Carefully slice each hard-boiled egg in half lengthwise. Gently scoop the yolks into a small bowl, keeping the whites separate on a serving platter.
Step 2: Make Filling
Mash the yolks with a fork until smooth. Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Mix until creamy. Stir in most of the crumbled bacon.
