timer Cook: 15min
restaurant 12 servings

Ingredients

6 large hard-boiled eggs
1/3 cup Miracle Whip or Mayonnaise, plus 1 extra tablespoon for decoration
1 yellow mustard
1 teaspoon sweet pickle juice
1 pinch table salt
5 slices bacon, finely chopped

Directions

  • Cut hard-boiled eggs in half lengthwise.
  • Remove the yolks and crumble them in a bowl.
  • Add 1/3 cup Miracle Whip or mayonnaise, mustard, pickle juice and salt. Stir until smooth and creamy.
  • Equally divide the filling among the 12 egg halves, spreading the filling in an even layer over top of the egg. Leave about an 1/8th of an inch border around the outer edge of the egg.
  • Sprinkle bacon over top and use your fingers to press the bacon into a football shape.
  • Spoon the remaining 1 tablespoon of Miracle Whip or mayonnaise into a small zip top bag. Snip off the tip leaving a small opening.
  • Pipe a straight line of mayo down the center of each egg, going lengthwise.
  • Add 3-4 short lines of mayo going across the long line to create the football laces.
  • Serve and enjoy!
