Smoked Gouda & Bacon Deviled Eggs

Easter, when the ordinary egg takes center stage.  You'll find them colorfully dyed, hiding in Easter baskets or on the table mixed with delicious ingredients.   Deviled eggs have traditionally been an Easter staple.  New twists on old ideas bring them front and center.  This recipe combines the traditional sweet and tangy flavors with smoky goodness from gouda and crumbled bacon - because of course... everything's better with bacon.
