The only problem with The Best Deviled Eggs is that they always seem to disappear too fast. One minute you have a plate of creamy, tangy, flavorful egg delights with smoky paprika and fatty bacon bits on top. The next minute, you blink and they're gone already! With a wonderful balance of sweet and sour notes, you may just feel tempted to make two batches of The Best Deviled Eggs: one for your guests and one for yourself!
