Spinach-Bacon Deviled Eggs

Phammy's Note:

Another twist on deviled eggs with spinach and bacon. Original recipe calls for cider vinegar AND sugar, but I think it's fine if you want to omit the sugar. I topped it off with a little cayenne pepper and paprika and everyone enjoyed it. I cut the recipe in half (6 eggs and eye balled the amount of mayo, salt and pepper), but will post the full measured recipe Published by Debbie Moose (Deviled Egg: 50 Recipes from Simple to Sassy)

These were a huge hit! Very creamy and delicious. The combo of spinach and bacon was very nice. I skipped the optional sugar. Thanks for sharing! PAC Spring '12

I made these for Thanksgiving a day in advance, and I had to seriously restrain myself form eating them all before they made it to my dinner! The spinach/bacon combo is a really tasty twist on traditional deviled eggs. The only modification I made was using Morning Star veggie bacon, as I'm vegetarian.
