Slice each hard boiled egg in half lengthwise; carefully remove the yolks; put yolks in a small mixing bowl; place egg whites on a platter.
Add mayonnaise and mustard to the yolks; mix until well combined. Fold in diced bacon, tomatoes and basil, reserving a little of the basil for a garnish.
Spoon filling into the egg whites. Garnish with reserved basil and dust with chili powder.
Makes 24.
Refrigerate until ready for use. Refrigerate leftovers.
*Candied bacon:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Mix the brown sugar and cumin. Dredge each bacon slice on both sides through the sugar/cumin mixture.
Place the bacon on a baking pan with sides; bake 15 - 20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the bacon. Place on a paper towel to drain the excess fat.
