- Start by placing the hard-cooked eggs in a medium saucepan and covering them with cold water, ensuring there's at least an inch of water above the eggs. Bring the pot to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, remove it from heat, cover, and let the eggs sit for 9 minutes. Afterward, transfer the eggs to an ice bath to chill, halting the cooking process, and once cool, peel them gently.
- In a skillet over medium heat, add the double-smoked bacon strips. Cook them until they are crispy and golden, which should take about 8-10 minutes. Make sure to turn them occasionally for even cooking. Once cooked, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain off any excess grease, allowing it to cool while you prepare the egg filling.
- Slice the peeled eggs in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out the yolks into a mixing bowl, leaving the whites intact. To the yolks, add mayonnaise, capers, fresh dill, chives, and grainy mustard. Mash the mixture with a fork until smooth and well blended, ensuring it has a creamy consistency reminiscent of the classic devilled eggs.
- Begin assembling your sliders by spooning the yolk mixture into each egg white half generously. Then, take a piece of crispy bacon and lay it on top of the yolk filling. Next, tuck a fresh lettuce leaf and a slice of juicy tomato onto each bacon-topped egg.
- Carefully place the remaining egg whites on top to create sandwich-like sliders. Use a cocktail pick to pierce through the layers, securing everything together. For an added touch, garnish each slider with chopped fresh dill and a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning.

Notes
Store leftover Devilled BLT Egg Sliders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If freezing, the yolk filling can be stored separately for up to 2 months.
