Bacon & Chive deviled eggs

These were a delicious and low carb snack that I made for our friend Brianne's birthday party that David and I hosted at our apartment.  Super easy ingredients, it just takes a little patience to cook and peel the eggs!


Ingredients:
One dozen eggs (the fresher the better for easier peeling)
Bacon 
Chives
Mayo 
Mustard 
Frank's Red Hot sauce
Salt & pepper to taste

I cooked the eggs with my handy dandy egg timer that lets me know when the yolks are hard boiled (you place it in the pot with them - cheap and great tool from Bed Bath & Beyond!).  As soon as the eggs are ready, put them in a bowl of ice water.  This helps when it comes to peeling the eggs.  Once peeled, slice in half and remove the yolks in another bowl.  Smash the yolks up with a fork to make sure they stay nice and fluffy.  Add in mayonnaise, yellow mustard, chopped chives and salt and pepper.  For the bacon, I like to bake my in the over, flipping once.  I bake at 400 degrees for a total of about 30 minutes (or until you get your desired crispiness).  For this, I did bake it a little longer to make for the crispy crumbles to put on top.  I also added a longer chopped chive to stick on top with the bacon for decoration (and also clues your guests in on what is in the eggs).  Delish!
