Assemble the Deviled Eggs:
Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture into the hollowed egg whites evenly.
Add Toppings:
Sprinkle the crumbled bacon, shredded Cheddar cheese, and chopped chives over the filled eggs for extra flavor and presentation.
Serve:
Chill in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes before serving. Enjoy as an appetizer, side dish, or snack.
