# What You'll Gather:

→ For the Eggs

01 - 12 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and halved
02 - 1/3 cup mayonnaise
03 - 1 tablespoon butter, melted
04 - 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
05 - 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
06 - 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
07 - 1 tablespoon sweet pickle juice
08 - 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
09 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
10 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
11 - Ice water (for cooling eggs)

→ For Garnishes

12 - Crumbled bacon
13 - Paprika (sweet or smoked)
14 - Sliced sweet pickles
15 - Sliced green onions

# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - Place your eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover the pan, and let them simmer for 12 minutes. When time's up, transfer the eggs to an ice water bath to cool them down quickly. This makes them easier to peel.
02 - Once your eggs are cool, peel them carefully and slice each one in half lengthwise. Gently remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl. Set the whites aside on a serving platter.
03 - In your bowl with the yolks, add the mayonnaise, melted butter, both mustards, hot sauce, pickle juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mash everything together with a fork until smooth, or use a mixer if you want it extra creamy.
04 - Spoon the yolk mixture back into the egg white halves, or use a piping bag with a star tip for a fancier presentation. Fill each half generously with the creamy mixture.
05 - Sprinkle your deviled eggs with paprika, then top with crumbled bacon bits, small pickle slices, and a sprinkle of green onions. These toppings give the eggs their "million dollar" flavor and appearance!
06 - For the best flavor, refrigerate the eggs for at least 30 minutes before serving. Don't leave them out at room temperature for more than 2 hours for food safety.

# Important Tips:

01 - Starting with cold water helps cook the eggs evenly and prevents cracking.
02 - The melted butter is the secret ingredient that makes these eggs extra rich and creamy.
03 - These can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance - just add the garnishes right before serving.
