Smokey Bacon and Cheddar Deviled Eggs

Ingredients

8 Large Hard-Cooked Eggs, peeled

1/3 cup Blue Plate Mayonnaise

1 tsp Yellow Mustard

1 1/2 tsp Honey

1/4 teaspoon Salt

1/4 tsp Black Pepper, freshly ground

1 Tbl Fresh Chives, slice very thin, divided

3 strips Bacon, good quality, cooked until crisp and chopped fine

2 Tbl  Sharp Cheddar Cheese, finely shredded

Instructions

For the hard-boiled eggs:

Place 8 eggs in a large pot. Add cool water, enough to cover the eggs by two inches. Add one tablespoon of salt to the water. Place the pot on high heat and cook for 20 minutes. Drain the water from the eggs and cover completely with ice water. Peel eggs once they are cool enough to handle. Store covered and refrigerated if they are not going to be used immediately.

Smokey Bacon and Cheddar Deviled Eggs

Halve the eggs lengthwise. Gently remove the yolks and place them in a small mixing bowl. Reserve the whites.

Use a fork and smash the yolks together with the Blue Plate Mayonnaise, yellow mustard, honey, salt, black pepper, and half of the chives. Once the mixture is smooth, fold in the bacon and cheese. Fill each half of the egg whites with the yolk mixture and garnish each one with the remaining chives. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Apple French Toast

French toast has been a favorite since childhood—probably one of the first things I could make on my own. Pancakes were my grandmother Muz’s domain, but French toast was all mine. King’s Hawaiian Bread is always a solid choice, but if you can find a bakery that makes fresh brioche or sweet sourdough, grab it. Never been shy about my love for apples, especially Honey Crisp and Fuji. Apple pie’s always been my go-to, but this recipe takes the best part of apple pie and turns it into breakfast.

Pie Dough

This crust has been the base for countless savory pies over the years. The key is keeping the butter ice-cold and giving the dough enough time to rest in the refrigerator. For a little twist, add 1 tablespoon of freshly cracked black pepper or 2 tablespoons of finely chopped chives to the flour mixture.

Denver Omelet Quiche

I love quiche. To me, it’s great for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. In the morning, it’s perfect with fresh fruit. At lunch or dinner, it pairs well with a light salad. Never use the pre-shredded cheese in plastic bags from the dairy case. It's dusted with cellulose, which messes with the texture and flavor. Always grate cheese from a block. It’s an extra step but it will save money and taste so much better.
