And, now for the main event. This is the deviled egg I’ve been waiting weeks to share with you! It’s a carbonara deviled egg.
When I was dreaming up deviled egg variations, this was one of the first I thought of. Carbonara is traditionally a simple, creamy pasta preparation with bacon, eggs and Parmesan combined to make the sauce. Why not make it, twirl it in little balls and plop them into the egg white cups?
This was so much fun to make, and even more fun to eat. I’ll serve this at a party one day, and people will rave.
Ingredients:
• 1 pound spaghetti
• 1/2 pound bacon, sliced crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for serving (optional)
• Freshly ground black pepper
Directions:
1. Cook the pasta, set aside. Cook your bacon until crispy, and set aside. Leave the drippings in the pan, and toss spaghetti in bacon fat. Add in the crispy bacon pieces.
2. Whisk together the eggs, cheese and pepper. Pour over the pasta, and mix briskly. The hot pan and pasta will cook the eggs.
3. Twirl little portions of the carbonara with a fork, and place in egg white cups. It helps if the pasta has cooled slightly.

Hi Blake, this looks delicious, and I don’t even like deviled eggs that much! I just discovered carbonara the summer before last, and haven’t had a chance to experiment with it since. I really enjoyed reading this post, I will have to come back again on a regular basis to read your posts. Great work!
