Baconnaise Deviled Eggs

Baconnaise Deviled Eggs, originally uploaded by predictablyhungry.

Easter away from the family is pretty tough so last year I decided to make my own little feasts for myself (with a Quiche Lorraine).

This year I opted for my egg dish to be Deviled Eggs. For those of you curious, the rest of the Easter menu included Orange Icing Cinnamon Rolls, Four Cheese Macaroni and Cheese, and Margarita Fruit Salad (I'll post more recipes as the day progresses).

Anyway, back to my deviled eggs. Having just bought Baconnaise a few weeks ago I decided to give them a try in my eggs.

They turned out pretty damn good, without an overwhelming taste of bacon.

I hard boiled 9 eggs, peeled, split, and set aside the yolks.

Ingredients needed:
1. Baconnaise
2. Mayonnaise
3. Yellow mustard
4. Peppered Bacon Salt
5. Tabasco
6. Green onions
7. Sweet relish
8. Paprika
9. Salt and Pepper

After the yolks are gathered in one bowl stir in Baconnaise and mayonnaise on a 1:1 ratio until you reach consistency desired.

Squirt in a ribbon of mustard (not too much).

Add tabasco to taste.

Add green onions.

Add a generous amount of bacon salt (it isn't too overwhelming).

Add salt and pepper to taste.

I like to make the filling the night before, as I find this allows the taste of tabasco and green onions to full absorb into the yolks. If you are doing the same, keep the yolks and white separate overnight or they may get funky. Be sure to keep the yolks covered or you can even slip them into a ziploc bag for easy dispensing later (by cutting a corner off the bag).

When you're ready to serve the eggs, spoon the mixture in and sprinkle with paprika.

Enjoy!

Burger King Onion Rings Flavored Snacks

Burger King Onion rings, originally uploaded by mt•MT•Mt.

I've had my eye on the Burger King Flavored Snacks line for awhile, but just couldn't bring myself to paying near $3 for them at Walgreens.

Good news! They were at the local $1 store, so for a buck I just had to give them a try (this was the only flavor they had).

I anticipated a chip similar to my beloved Funyuns, but was a little skeptical about their brown color. Which brings to mind... how am I not put off by the Funyun's yellow color?

Anyway, the BK onion ring snack are smaller and thicker than your average Funyun, and well, they don't really taste like them either. Which is probably a good thing, as they're a unique snack.

Upon first bite I was hit with an onion-y with a hint of sour cream flavor. I didn't like it... or so I thought. With the onion flavor lingering in my mouth I found myself getting up just to try one more, and another, and another.

They're addicting, and I believe, way more tastier than a Funyun.

And no, I probably still wouldn't pay $3 a bag.

Anyone ever try their ketchup and fries one? I'll have to keep an eye out for if/when those go on sale!

J&D's Foods: Bacon Salt, Baconnaise, Bacon Lip Balm

I can't remember how I first heard of Baconnaise or Bacon Salt, but I'd been dying to try either one.

It may have been facebook ads or woot.com or something of the sort.

Anyway, I finally found bacon salt at my local super market. I purchased the original and peppered, as they were both on sale. As soon as I paid for my products I ripped open the tops and well, stuck my finger in.

Yummm, tastes like seasoned salt really. I've been impressed enough to add it to my turkey sandwiches and popcorn.

Impressed enough that I looked EVERYWHERE for baconnaise until I realized that unless I lived in another state I'd be stuck paying an arm and leg for it through the internet.

And that I did.

I HAD to try it, and the excuse of using it for deviled eggs on Easter only made me order it.

It was expensive... including shipping the thing was like $12! For a jar of mayonnaise!

So I got it, and what did I do? Yep.

Stuck my finger in immediately. The baconnaise is definitely better than the salt and tastes more like bacon than its salt counterpart.

The night it came in the mail I put it in a homemade cheeseburger, and I'd have to say that last bite of bread that had burger juice on it with baconnaise was the best.

Today I used it in equal parts to regular mayonnaise for an egg salad sandwich.

Yum!

I suggest you guys try it out, but you might want to wait til you run across a promotion so that it's not so expensive through the internet.
