Can I make this recipe without smoked olive oil?

Yes, use regular extra virgin olive oil and add a pinch more of the smoked sea salt and smoked paprika for flavor.

What's the best way to hard-boil eggs?

Place eggs in cold water, bring to a boil, then simmer for 10 minutes. Shock in ice water before peeling. If you have time, I like to refrigerate them overnight (after the ice bath) and peel the next day to make it even easier for the shells to slide off.

Can I make the bacon topping spicier?

Add a pinch of cayenne or chili flakes before baking for a spicy-sweet crumble. If you prepare the bacon in a skillet, I would recommend whisking the cayenne or chili flakes into the maple syrup before brushing.

How do I keep deviled eggs neat for serving?

Use a piping bag or zip-top bag with the corner snipped for a clean, professional look. You can also cut a thin slice out of the bottom of each egg white so they sit flat, or arrange them on a bed of salad greens.

Prep the Bacon : (In the Oven) Preheat the oven to 375°F. Brush bacon with maple syrup and sprinkle with black pepper. Bake on parchment until crisp, about 15 – 18 minutes. Let cool, then chop finely. (In a Skillet) Alternatively, cook in a skillet until crispy, transfer to a paper towel lined plate to drain grease, and brush with syrup / sprinkle with pepper while warm. Let cool, then chop finely.
Prep the Eggs : Slice eggs in half lengthwise and gently remove yolks. Place yolks in a bowl.
Make the Filling : Mash yolks with mayo, smoked olive oil, mustard, vinegar, paprika, and smoked salt. Mix until smooth and creamy. You can also use a hand mixer on low speed to combine the filling.
