Maple Bacon Deviled Eggs

Delicious deviled eggs but amped up for the holidays with maple glazed candied bacon and fried sage leaves.

Ingredients

• 6 eggs
• 1/4 cup mayo (avocado oil mayo or regular)
• 1 tsp dijon mustard
• 1 1/2 tsp white wine vinegar
• pinch of salt and pepper
• 4 pieces of thick cut bacon
• 4 tbsp maple syrup
• 1 tsp dijon mustard
• 1/2 tsp cracked black pepper
• 1 tbsp butter
• 12 sage leaves
• cracked black pepper (serving)
• paprika (serving)

Instructions

1. Peheat the oven to 400 F. Make the candied bacon. Lay the bacon slices on a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Mix the maple syrup, dijon, and cracked black pepper together and brush onto one side of the bacon.
2. Bake bacon for 12-15 minutes. remove from the oven, flip the bacon over and brush with the rest of the maple glaze. Bake for another 5-10 minutes until desired crispiness.
3. Make the eggs. Place eggs in a saucepan or pot and fill with water about 1 1/2 inches covering the eggs. On high heat, bring the eggs to a boil. Once it starts to boil, lower the heat, cover the pot, and let the eggs simmer for 1 minute. Turn off the heat and leave the eggs in the water for 14 minutes still covered. After 14 minutes, place the eggs in an ice bath (bowl of water with ice) for 2 minutes.
4. Remove the shells of the hard boiled eggs and slice in half. Flip the eggs over, yolk down, and slightly pull the white outward. The yolk should fall right out.
5. Once all the yolks are removed, mash them and stir in the mayo, dijon, vinegar, salt and pepper. Scoop into a sandwich bag or piping bag. If using a sandwich bag, snip the end and squeeze the mixture into each egg half.
6. Heat the butter in a pan on medium heat. Once melted, add the sage leaves. Fry until crispy (about 3-4 minutes). Remove and lay on a paper towel to soak up any excess oil.
7. Break the candied bacon apart and place a piece of bacon and a sage leaf on top of each deviled egg. Sprinkle with cracked black pepper and paprika and serve.
