Start by cutting each egg in half lengthwise. Carefully remove the yolks from all 12 halves and place them into a medium bowl. Mash the yolks together until they are smooth.

To the mashed yolks, add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt and pepper, and mix until completely combined. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.

Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into each egg white half using a pastry bag or spoon. Sprinkle each deviled egg with crumbled bacon pieces and paprika (if desired). Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve. Enjoy!
