Ingredients
- 5 Large Eggs (Hard boiled)

- 2 Slices Bacon
- 1 Tbsp. Bacon Fat (All fat rendered)
- 1 tsp. Dijon Mustard
- 1/4 tsp. Cayenne Pepper
- 1/2 tsp. Rosemary
Instructions
- Slice up your bacon into thin slices and add them to a pan on medium heat.
- Let the bacon cook on medium heat. It takes longer than if you are to fry it fast, but in my opinion it comes out better.
- Keep letting it cook, we want it extra crispy. It will add great texture to the eggs.
- The bacon looks done! Nice and crisp.
- Take out your bacon, keeping as much of the drippings in the pan as possible. Rest your bacon on paper towels to cool off and get extra crispy.
- You should have some hard boiled eggs previous made. Cut them all in half.
- Scoop out the yolks from all the eggs.
- Put all the yolks in a bowl.
- Add your mayonnaise, dijon mustard, cayenne pepper, bacon fat, and HALF of 1/4 tsp. rosemary. The rest will be used to garnish.
- Add some small pieces of bacon to the bottom of the eggs, where the yolk used to be.
- Mix all of your ingredients together in your bowl. Add the mixture to a Ziploc bag so you can make a mock piping tool. Or, if you have a piping bag – use that!
- Pipe your mixture on the top of the eggs. Add bacon and the rest of the rosemary for garnish.
