Candied Bacon and Jalapeño Deviled Eggs

Course Appetizer, Side Dish
Cuisine American

Ingredients
  

  • 12 Eggs
  • 4 pieces Bacon thick cut
  • 1/4 cup Brown Sugar
  • 3/4 cup Mayo
  • 2 tbsp Yellow Mustard
  • 1 tbsp Dijon Mustard
  • 2 tbsp Pickled Jalapeños minced, sweet n spicy if you can find them
  • 1/2 tsp Cayenne
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • First, hard-boil the eggs. Place eggs in a pot of cold water. Bring to a boil. Once the pot has boiled, cover with a lid and remove from heat. Let sit for 12-14 minutes. Remove and add to a bowl of ice water. Allow to cool completely, then peel.
  • Place bacon slices on a foil or parchment lined baking dish. Mix together the brown sugar and cayenne pepper. Sprinkle the brown sugar mixture onto the bacon and rub on both sides.
  • Place the bacon sheet tray into a cold oven and preheat to 400 degrees. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through. Keep an eye on the bacon so the sugar doesn't burn too quickly. Once it's crispy, remove from the oven and let cool.
  • Once the eggs are ready, cut in half lengthwise and put all egg yolks into a bowl. Arrange egg whites on a platter.
  • To the egg yolks, add in the mayo, two mustards and mix until a smooth texture is made. This can be done by hand or with a mixer. Then add in the minced jalapeños and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Transfer the mixture into a ziplock bag. Snip the corner and use it to pipe the mixture into the egg white halves.
  • Cut the cooled bacon into 1 inch pieces and top each egg.
  • Chill and serve!
