bananas (, to serve (optional))

In a large saucepan, add milk and bring it to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low to simmer and add in half the sugar.

In a medium bowl, add the remaining sugar and cornstarch. Whisk in the egg yolks until combined. (Only start mixing these when the milk starts to boil).

Take a thermometer and make sure it reaches 185F so it can set properly once cooled. Once it reaches this temperature, turn off the heat.

Add butter, vanilla extract, and mashed banana. Stir until well-combined and remove the custard from heat. Feel free to use a strainer to ensure a smooth custard texture (recommended, but not required).

What do you crave when you're feeling peckish?

Place eggs in a large pot and cover with cold water by about 1". Place pot on stove and bring to a boil. Immediately remove from. heat&nbsp;and cover pot. Let sit 11 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare a medium bowl of ice water. When time is up, drain eggs and submerge in ice water.

Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Cook bacon, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to&nbsp;a paper towel–lined plate.

In a medium bowl, whisk mayonnaise, chives, hot sauce, and&nbsp;vinegar; season with salt and black pepper.

Peel and halve eggs. Spread mayonnaise mixture on cut side of one egg&nbsp;half. Top with tomatoes, lettuce, and bacon.&nbsp;then top with other half of egg; season with salt and black pepper.

These were AMAZING!! The only change we made was to combine the yolks with the mayo mixture making it more like Deviled Eggs and made 1/2 egg a serving. I only used 4 eggs so the mixture was a little runnier than usual but the flavor was FABULOUS!! Got massive thumbs up from my peeps!!

Made these and they are delicious! Messy but tasty. Next time I will assemble using toothpicks.

This was really good & satisfying!  A few things I did different... 
 instead of making it a "sandwich", I left them open faced and spread a little of the mayo on each side of the egg.  I crumbled the bacon and used thin slices of local Creole tomatoes on each half.  The topped with shredded cheese.

These are excellent. I do then open faced and I chop the bacon into bacon but size pieces to sprinkle on top. Makes them easier to eat.
