Put eggs in a big pot and cover them with water. Heat on high until the water starts boiling. Let them cook for a minute, then cover with a lid and take the pot off the heat. Leave them in the water for 17 minutes, then drain and toss into an ice water bowl. Remove shells and set them aside.

Cut eggs down the long side. Scoop out the yolks and put them in a medium bowl. Toss in the mayo, butter, yellow mustard, dijon mustard, pickle brine, sugar, salt, pepper, and a little Tabasco. Smash everything with a fork until it’s super smooth.

Fill each egg white with the yolk mix using a spoon. Sprinkle with paprika, add crumbled bacon if you like, and pop on a sweet pickle slice to finish. Serve right away or chill in a sealed container until it’s time to dig in.
