A Savory And Flavorful Twist On Classic Deviled Eggs, With Crispy Bacon And A Hoisin Sauce Filling That’s Sure To Impress At Any Gathering!
These Porky Hoisin Deviled Eggs are the perfect combination of savory, creamy, and just a little bit sweet. I decided to make them because I wanted to elevate the classic deviled egg with bold flavors, and adding crispy bacon and hoisin sauce was the perfect solution.
The hoisin sauce gives the filling a rich, umami-packed depth, while the bacon adds a crispy crunch and extra smokiness.

Whether for brunch, snacks, or appetizers, these deviled eggs are always gone in a flash!
Questions I Often Get Asked About This Recipe
Q: Can I use regular mayonnaise instead of the mixture in the filling?
A: While you can use regular mayonnaise, the combination of mayonnaise and hoisin sauce in this recipe adds a unique, savory flavor. If you prefer a milder version, you can use just mayo, but the hoisin sauce really brings out the depth in the filling.
Q: Can I make these deviled eggs ahead of time?
A: Yes! These deviled eggs can be made up to 1 day ahead of time. Store them in an airtight container in the fridge until you’re ready to serve. Just garnish with bacon right before serving for the best crunch.
Q: Can I make these without bacon?
A: Absolutely! If you prefer a vegetarian version, simply leave out the bacon and consider adding a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds for some added crunch and flavor.
Q: Can I make this recipe spicier?
A: Yes, you can add a few dashes of hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the filling mixture to give it a little kick.
Q: How do I make the eggs easy to peel?
A: To make hard-boiled eggs easier to peel, place the eggs in cold water immediately after boiling, and let them cool for a few minutes before peeling. Adding a teaspoon of baking soda to the water can also help.
What You Need to Make Porky Hoisin Deviled Eggs
For the Deviled Eggs:
- 6 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1-2 strips of cooked bacon, crumbled (for garnish)
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)
For the Topping:
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce (for drizzling)
- A few extra crispy bacon crumbles
- A sprinkle of sesame seeds (optional)
How to Make Porky Hoisin Deviled Eggs
1. Cook the eggs:
Place the eggs in a pot and cover with cold water. Bring the water to a boil, then remove the pot from the heat and cover. Let the eggs sit for 10-12 minutes. Once done, transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool before peeling.
2. Prepare the filling:
Slice the hard-boiled eggs in half lengthwise and carefully remove the yolks. Place the yolks in a bowl and mash them with a fork. Add the mayonnaise, hoisin sauce, Dijon mustard, rice vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix until smooth and creamy. If the filling is too thick, you can add a little more mayo or a splash of water to reach your desired consistency.
3. Assemble the deviled eggs:
Spoon or pipe the hoisin yolk mixture back into the egg whites. Don’t overfill – a generous dollop on each half is enough.
4. Garnish and serve:
Drizzle a little extra hoisin sauce over the top of the filled eggs. Sprinkle the crumbled bacon and sesame seeds (if using) on top for garnish. Add a small cilantro leaf for a fresh touch if desired.
5. Serve:
Serve your Porky Hoisin Deviled Eggs chilled. They’re the perfect appetizer for any gathering!
Tips
- For extra flavor: Add a bit of smoked paprika or a pinch of cayenne pepper to the yolk mixture for an extra kick.
- For a creamier filling: If you prefer a smoother filling, blend the yolk mixture with a hand blender or food processor.
- Add a crunch: Toasted sesame seeds or crushed peanuts make for great toppings if you’re looking to add more texture.
