MAKE MAPLE BACON RECIPES

Steps:

• In a large cast-iron skillet, cook the bacon oven medium-high for 6-8 minutes or until crispy. Using a slotted spoon, remove the bacon from the skillet and drain on a paper towel lined plate. 
• Add the Brussels sprouts to the skillet, stirring well to coat with the bacon grease. Reduce heat to medium and cook without stirring for 6 minutes or until the sprouts start to brown/caramelize. Stir in the salt and red pepper and continue to cook an additional 6 - 8 minutes or until Brussels sprouts are just tender.
• Stir in the cranberries, apple juice, and maple syrup. Cook 3 minutes, stirring to coat the Brussels sprouts. Add the cooked bacon and stir to combine. Serve immediately. 

Steps:

• Place eggs in a large saucepan and cover with cold water and the baking soda. Set pan over medium-high heat and bring water to a boil. Turn off heat, cover pan with a lid and let sit for 11 minutes. Drain, rinse eggs under cold water, and peel.
• Meanwhile, arrange bacon in a medium skillet and cook over medium until crisp on the first side, about 6 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and brush bacon with maple syrup. Flip and brush other side, then continue cooking until crisp on second side. Transfer to a plate and let cool completely. 
• Halve eggs lengthwise and scoop yolks into a medium bowl, then mash yolks with the back of a fork. Stir mayonnaise, vinegar, and mustard into yolks until smooth. Crumble three slices of cooked bacon and stir into the egg mixture. Season with salt and pepper.
• Using a small cookie scoop, scoop mixture into each egg. Crumble the remaining 2 slices of bacon over the eggs. Dust with paprika and sprinkle with chives before serving.
