Ingredient notes:
- Curry powder: The namesake ingredient! I like to use a mild curry powder for flavour and colour, then get a bit more kick from the jalapeños.
- Jalapeños: These are optional, as they are super zingy! But I highly recommend them. Finely chop them for subtle little hits of flavour.
- Bacon: Another optional ingredient, you can add it to some and not others if catering for a crowd with different dietary needs.

Step by step instructions:
Peel the cooled boiled eggs, then cut in half.
Carefully scoop out the egg yolk and place in a bowl or pull chopper. Set the egg whites aside.
Add the chopped chives, mayonnaise, curry powder and jalapeños. Mix together until well combined.
Place the egg mix into a snap lock bag then cut the corner off. Pipe the mixture into the hollowed out egg whites.
Garnish with a piece of chive and a small piece of crispy bacon. Store in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to serve
Recipe FAQs:
Yes! Curried eggs will keep well for three days in an airtight container in the fridge. If you wanted to make these the day before serving, they would be fine. I would garnish with bacon and chives just before serving.
With the addition of crispy bacon, they are not vegetarian. But if you left the bacon off they would be.
Storage:
Curried eggs can be made they day before serving. Simply keep in an airtight container in the fridge and garnish before you serve.
Overall, they will keep well for three days after first being made.
Top tips:
The egg mixture can either be piped in using a piping bag or snap lock bag with the corner cut off. If you can't be bothered with either of those - just use a tea spoon to spoon it in.
