Hard boil the eggs. Add enough water to cover eggs by at least 1" in a large pot (don't add eggs yet). Bring water to a boil, then add the eggs, gently placing them in the water with a slotted spoon. Keep the stove at this temp for 30 seconds, then reduce the heat to your stove's lowest setting and place the lid on top. Cook the eggs this way for 13 minutes. While cooking, prepare a large bowl with ice and cold water. Remove eggs from the pot and place them in the ice bath. Allow them to chill for 5 minutes. Peel the eggs. Cut each egg in half lengthwise.
Make the filling. Carefully remove the yolks from each egg and place them inside a large bowl. Add mayo (1/2 cup), dijon (2 teaspoons), cayenne pepper (1/2 teaspoon), and salt (1/2 teaspoon), and mash the ingredients together with the back of a fork until well combined. Add the chopped chives (2 tablespoons), cooked, and crumbled bacon (1/4 cup). Stir to combine.
Decorate! Use a spoon to add egg yolk combo to the center of each egg white. Sprinkle the top with shredded cheddar (1/4 cup) and additional chives, and enjoy!
