    I originally got the idea for these upside-down deviled egg eyes from The Ghostess who swears by it for her parties.

    I love deviled eggs in any variety and I decided to mix these up with a little bacon. Since they're upside down, your guests will get a little surprise when they bite into them and get a bit of a crunch!

    You can really get creative and take advantage of the fact that these are upside-down. You can hide all kinds of surprises in the filling. I chose bacon. But I think a little bit of jalapeno would be pretty good or maybe add avocado to the mixture for a guacamole deviled egg. Anything your guests aren't expecting would be fun in these upside-down deviled egg eyes.

    Make sure you use a good quality mayonnaise or make your own. You don't want to feed your guests oils that could cause inflammation. As far as whether you use cage-free eggs or not, that's your call.

    I used plain yellow mustard in these, but my husband would argue that spicy brown mustard is better. He is especially fond of Koops brand spicy brown mustard. We literally buy it by the case from Amazon. That's how obsessed he is with it!
