Reduce heat to medium-low and brush bacon with maple syrup. Flip and brush other side, then continue cooking until crisp on second side. Transfer to a plate and let cool completely. Step 3Halve eggs lengthwise and scoop yolks into a medium bowl, then mash yolks with the back of a fork. Stir mayonnaise, vinegar, and mustard into yolks until smooth. Crumble three slices of cooked bacon and stir into the egg mixture. Season with salt and pepper.Step 4Using a small cookie scoop, scoop mixture into each egg. Crumble the remaining 2 slices of bacon over the eggs. Dust with paprika and sprinkle with chives before serving.
