    Directions

    1. Prepare Spiced Bacon Bits. Preheat oven to 375ºF. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Arrange bacon strips close together on the baking sheet (but not overlapping). Season with Maple Bourbon Jalapeño Seasoning. Bake on the middle rack for 15 to 20 minutes, or until it has reached the desired level of crispiness (Keep in mind, bacon will continue to crisp up as it cools.) Remove from oven; using tongs, transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate. When cool, chop into ¼- to ½-inch pieces; set aside.

    2. Prepare Filling. Slice eggs in half lengthwise. Remove yolks and transfer to a medium mixing bowl; reserve egg white halves for assembly. To the yolks add mayonnaise, Dill-e Dill-e Seasoning, pickle juice, Sriracha Sauce Powder, yellow mustard, and Dill Pickle Sea Salt. Using a fork, mash well until smooth (or for extra smooth and fluffy texture, use a hand mixer). Adjust seasonings to taste, if needed.

    3. Assemble. Spoon a generous tablespoon of filling into the cavity of each egg white half. (Or transfer filling to a pastry bag fitted with a star tip and pipe the filling for an elevated presentation.)

    4. To serve, top deviled eggs with spiced bacon bits and chopped chives. Finish with a sprinkle of Maple Bourbon Jalapeño Seasoning and Dill Pickle Sea Salt.
