Ingredients
  

Candied Bacon

  • 5 slices thick cut bacon
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • pepper to taste

Deviled Eggs

  • 18 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 3 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 3 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  • green onions

Instructions
 

For the bacon

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • On a foil lined baking sheet, place your strips of bacon and sprinkle the brown sugar over the bacon. Add pepper to taste as well.
  • Place another sheet of aluminum foil over the top of the bacon and place another baking sheet on top of it (this will keep the bacon from wrinkling up and will stay flat).
  • Bake for 20 minutes.

For the deviled eggs

  • Boil the eggs and let cool.
  • Once the eggs have cooled completely, peel them and slice in half lengthwise. Remove the yolk to a small bowl with a spoon and place the egg whites on a plate.
  • Mash the yolks with a fork and add the mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, salt and pepper. Stir everything together until it's smooth.
  • Put the mixture into a zip top bag and cut the tip off in order to make a make-shift pastry bag. Squeeze the mixture back into the hole of each egg white. Sprinkle green onions on top for garnish.
  • Tear apart (or slice) bacon into 1 inch pieces and place on top of each egg.
