Pesto Parmesan & Bacon Deviled Eggs
There are many delicious deviled egg recipes out there, and while I do love traditional preparations, today’s pesto-inspired concoction provides a fun new flavor! While you certainly can take the time to crisp up bacon on the stove or in the oven, I recommend purchasing the real 100% bacon pieces usually found on the salad topping aisle. I love using this product for the time, convenience, and energy savings, and I have featured it in many recipes throughout this series.
