Ingredients
Method
- Place eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over high heat, then remove from heat, cover, and let stand for 12 minutes.
- Transfer eggs to an ice bath and let cool for 5 minutes. Peel the eggs under cool running water and pat dry.
- Slice each egg in half lengthwise. Carefully remove the yolks and place them in a medium bowl. Arrange the egg white halves on a serving platter.
- Mash the egg yolks with a fork until smooth. Add mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, cheddar cheese, half of the crumbled bacon, pickle relish, salt, and pepper. Mix until creamy and well combined.
- Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture into the egg white halves, dividing evenly among all pieces.
- Top each deviled egg with remaining crumbled bacon and chopped chives. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving for best flavor.

Notes
For easier peeling, use eggs that are at least one week old. The filling can be made up to 24 hours in advance and stored separately from the egg whites. For a smoother filling, use a food processor to blend the yolk mixture until completely creamy.
