Step 2 of 2
Fry bacon in a deep skillet over medium-high heat for about 10 minutes until crisp. Let drain on paper towels, crumble once cool, and mix into the yolk base. Incorporate mayonnaise, basil, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes until blended. Stuff the egg whites with the mixture and top with a dusting of paprika.
I really enjoy this recipe and often make a smaller batch for breakfast. Since I eyeball the ingredients rather than measuring, I can't comment on the basil amount, but the flavor combination is incredible—you should try it yourself.
These were very tasty and simple; I just added a bit of Dijon mustard to give them some extra zest.
Perfect! Using smoked paprika makes them taste even better. Thanks!
