Ingredients
- Deviled Eggs:
- 6 eggs (room temperature)
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1 ¼ teaspoons dill relish
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon paprika (for garnish)
- Candied Bacon:
- 4 slices bacon
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
Method
- Set your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Fill a pot with water and bring it to a boil.
- Carefully lower the room-temperature eggs into the boiling water, one at a time.
- Cook the eggs for 12 minutes.
- Turn off the heat, drain the hot water, and run cold water over the eggs.
- Let them sit in cold water for 10 minutes before peeling.
- In a bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and brown sugar until well combined.
- Coat each slice of bacon thoroughly with the sugar mixture.
- Place the sugared bacon on a wire rack set over a foil-lined baking sheet (this catches drips and makes cleanup easier).
- Transfer the rack to your preheated oven and bake until the bacon is crisp (approximately 15–20 minutes, depending on your oven).
- Carefully remove from the oven and let the bacon cool. It will harden slightly as it cools.
- Once the eggs have cooled and been peeled, use a sharp knife to cut each egg in half lengthwise.
- Gently scoop out the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl.
- Add the mayonnaise, yellow mustard, dill relish, salt, and black pepper.
- Stir or mash with a fork until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture back into the hollowed egg whites.
- Lightly sprinkle the top of each egg with paprika.
- Chop or crumble the candied bacon into small pieces.
- Place a piece or sprinkle on top of each deviled egg for a sweet, crunchy finish.
