Recipe: Texas-Style Loaded Deviled Egg Bites
Ingredients:

• 8 Eggland’s Best Eggs
• 3/4 tsp. seasoned salt
• 1 Tbsp. mayonnaise
• Kosher salt, to taste
• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 3 potato chips, broken in half
• 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 Tbsp. sour cream
• 2 Tbsp. chopped cooked bacon
• 1 Tbsp. chopped chives

Directions:

1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Gently drop the eggs in and cook until hard-boiled, about 9 to 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked eggs to an ice bath and let cool before peeling.
2. Using a paring knife, cut a lengthwise V-shaped wedge out of 6 of the hard-boiled eggs. Sprinkle the cut eggs with seasoned salt.
3. Separate the yolks from the whites of the wedges and transfer the yolks to a small bowl (discard the whites). Slice the two remaining whole eggs in half, discard the egg whites, and add the yolks to the bowl. Mash the yolks, then whisk in the mayonnaise. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Carefully spoon the yolk filling into each of the cut, seasoned eggs.
5. Garnish each egg with shredded cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, chopped bacon, and a sprinkle of chives. Stick a potato-chip half into the yolk mixture in each egg.
6. Serve immediately, and watch them disappear!
