Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Step 1: Prepare Bacon - In a skillet over medium heat, cook 4 ounces of thick-cut bacon, diced into small bits, until crispy and golden brown, about 8–10 minutes.
  2. Step 2: Hard-Boil Eggs - Place 6 large eggs in a pot. Cover with about an inch of cold water, then bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat. Remove from heat and let sit for 12 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Ice Bath - Prepare an ice bath while the eggs sit. Transfer eggs after 12 minutes to cool for at least 10 minutes.
  4. Step 4: Peel Eggs - Once cool, gently peel eggs under lukewarm water. Slice each egg in half lengthwise and scoop out the yolks.
  5. Step 5: Make Filling - Mash yolks in a bowl. Mix in mayo, sour cream, mustard, paprika, onion powder, hot sauce, and season to taste. Fold in cheddar and chives.
  6. Step 6: Fill Egg Whites - Fill each egg white with the yolk mixture. Top with remaining cheese and bacon bits, and add garnish.
  7. Step 7: Serve - Enjoy immediately or chill in the fridge for 20–30 minutes before serving.
