Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 2 ounces or 2 strips of bacon diced
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons chopped dill pickles and juice
- 1/2 teaspoon Dijon or grainy mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika divided
- 1 tablespoon chives thinly sliced to garnish
Instructions
- Fill a small saucepan with water enough to submerge 6 eggs and bring to a boil. Place your eggs in the water using a spoon and boil for 10-12 minutes until the yolks are hard. Once ready, remove from the saucepan and carefully place in an ice bath.
- Heat a nonstick frying pan on medium heat. Place your bacon in the pan and occasionally stir with a spatula to cook evenly, about 5 minutes. Once golden on the edges, remove from heat and add brown sugar to caramelize. Stir until evenly coated and place bacon bits in a small bowl.
- Peel your boiled eggs and cut them in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks with a spoon and place them in a large bowl. Place the whites on a serving plate.
- In the large bowl, add mayonnaise, dill pickles and juice, mustard, half the paprika, and salt and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Begin spooning your deviled egg mixture into the eggs. Garnish with bacon, paprika, and chives.
