Deviled eggs with bacon, peppers and dates really rev up the flavor of this old party friend. Put these little cuties on a platter and watch them go! Once around the crowd at our house and it’s time for more of these delicious appetizers!

Meet one of our family’s very favorite appetizers. In fact I’m making these today for Father’s Day. All the guys love these! When we have a family party these go on the menu. Along with Grandma Cashs Hamburger bean casserole and our favorite broccoli salad.

The gloriously yellow color of these deviled eggs is not all due entirely to the mustard. Home grown hens, raised on field develop an amazing deep yellow yolk.

Deviled eggs use a lot of eggs quickly and everyone at our house adores them! That’s a win win for us because we often have a lot of eggs to use! A tray of these delicious egg bites will be welcome at the Sunday football game, family events, birthdays or any ole party! Go here for more appetizers. Our Low Carb Chorizo Spinach Filo Cups are another delightful, popular and healthy finger food that would look great on an egg tray.

Fresh cooked tiny Bacon strips, dates, peppers and Smoked Gouda Cheese make this old favorite recipe really shine! The actual filling is just three easy to find in your fridge ingredients. The toppings add so much flavor I hope you try them. The smoked gouda works really well with the peppers and dates.

Eggs filled with this filling without the delectable toppings are great for kids and other bland palates. Although I’m pretty sure even they will enjoy the flavors blended together in this yummy appetizer! Just remove the peppers or use lower spice peppers if need be.

Deviled Eggs with Bacon, dates peppers and smoked Gouda cheese Recipe Notes:

A crowd pleasing favorite. Deviled eggs with Bacon dates, peppers, smoked Gouda and crunchy bacon turn plain old hard boiled eggs into something special! Make this appetizer with healthy fats by making our Heart Healthy homemade mayonnaise. 

I used Medjool dates, smoked Gouda Cheese and my garden frozen Bangkok Peppers for a bit of a kick in that smoke. Wonderful! I’m pretty sure your family will adore this recipe. Mine sure does!
