There is not one family event where we do not have an egg appetizer. These Caesar Deviled Eggs are a spin on the classic, and make the perfect #SimpleCheer holiday appetizer!

The question I get a lot as a vegetarian is: “do you eat eggs and dairy?”
I do! Kudos to vegans, but while I choose not to eat meat for many reasons, eggs, milk, and cheese are my life! I cannot live without them! Sure, there are great substitutes out there, but nothing beats a runny egg yolk paired with tons of cheese on a sandwich (especially when it is made by your husband!)
That being said, we are a family of egg lovers.
UPDATE: My video is up showing you just how easy these Caesar deviled eggs are!
I had the opportunity to meet some wonderful people from Egg Farmers of Canada while at the Food Bloggers of Canada conference and as a blogger who likes to both cook and bake, I was really happy to talk with them. Funny enough, my sister had contacted me while I was away to say they ate all the eggs in the house and she had to buy more. It was perfect timing to relate with Egg Farmers of Canada 🙂
That being said, besides my sister watching my daughter while I was away, she provided me with today’s recipe idea: caesar deviled eggs! Think caesar salad in deviled egg form. She doesn’t really care for mayonnaise, and while caesar dressing has the same cosistencey, it definitely has a different flavour. Replacing mayo with dressing in these caesar deviled eggs really opens up the creativity department. I topped the caesar deviled eggs with bacon and parmesan to really give that traditional salad feel in this recipe.
While cleaning up after the photo shoot I totally realized I should have topped these onto an actual caesar salad! It would have been so fitting!
Enough yammering from me of what I should have done, and more about delicious eggs.
Not only are we looking for simple egg recipes this holiday season (be sure to take a look at everyone’s tricks and tips using the hashtag #SimpleCheer) but we want great tasting food with the highest of standards. It takes less than 5 days for eggs to get from the farm to your kitchen, meaning you get only the freshest quality from Canadian Grade A eggs. Canada’s eggs from the store are known for being among the best in quality and freshness in the world.
So whether you are watching Christmas movies or enjoying a family Christmas party, eggs are one of the most versatile ingredients you can use in your dishes 🙂 And if your family is like ours, deviled eggs will be fought over visciously until none remain!

Ingredients
- 1 dozen hard boiled eggs, peeled and halved (my method for boiling eggs is found below this recipe.)
- 1/2 cup caesar salad dressing
- 6 slices of bacon, sliced small, cooked, and drained
- 1 tsp. mustard (optional)
- Salt and pepper
- Freshly grated Parmesan cheese for garnish
Instructions
- Remove the yellow yolk from each egg and place into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add in caesar dressing, mustard, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
- Place mixture into a piping or sandwich bag. Snip off corner and pipe mixture into each egg white. You can also use a spoon.
- Season with bacon and Parmesan cheese if desired.
- Chill in refrigerator until ready to serve.
Notes
You can hard-boil your eggs a day or two in advance and peel them when needed.
Now, deviled eggs are really easy to make, but let’s be honest, if you don’t hard-boil them properly, you are in for a bad time. I highly suggest the method from Simply Recipes. No vinegar or baking soda for me; I added a bit of olive oil to the water and bam, perfect hard-boiled eggs! Seriously, they are gorgeous! This will be the only method I use from now on.
