Ingredients
– 12 large eggs
– 1/2 cup mayonnaise
– 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
– 6 slices bacon, cooked until crispy and crumbled
– 2 tablespoons rendered tallow for frying

Instructions
1. Place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 12 minutes.
2. Drain the eggs and let them cool for 5 minutes. Peel the eggs and cut them in half lengthwise.
3. Carefully remove the yolks and place them in a medium bowl. Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mash and mix until smooth and creamy.
4. Heat the tallow in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
5. Carefully place the egg white halves, cut-side down, in the hot tallow and fry for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
6. Remove the fried egg whites from the tallow and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
7. Pipe or spoon the yolk mixture back into the fried egg white halves.
8. Top each deviled egg with a sprinkle of crumbled bacon and chopped chives.
9. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
