Ingredients

• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 3 eggs
• ⅓ cup heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup
• salt
• ¼ teaspoon ground paprika
• 1 ½ teaspoons Dijon mustard

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine egg yolks, creme fraiche, 1 tablespoon maple syrup, Dijon mustard, and 1 pinch salt in a food processor; pulse until well blended. Stir in chives and paprika with a spatula. Place in the refrigerator.

Step 2

Place bacon pieces in a nonstick skillet over medium heat; cook and stir until just crispy, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate and toss with 1 tablespoon maple syrup until coated. Wipe most of the grease out of the skillet with a paper towel.

Step 3

Whisk eggs, heavy cream, nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon salt together in a shallow baking dish. Dip both sides of each brioche slice into the egg mixture.

Step 4

Return the skillet to medium-high heat. Add coated brioche slices; cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side.

Step 5

Place 1 piece of toasted brioche on each serving plate. Spread a spoonful of deviled egg mixture on top. Cover with another toasted brioche slice. Sprinkle bacon pieces on top.
