Paprika, to garnish (approximately 1⁄8 tsp)

Peel the hard‑boiled eggs, slice in half lengthwise, and place the whites cut‑side up on a platter. Remove yolks and transfer them to a medium bowl.
Mash yolks with a fork until crumbly. Add mayonnaise, dill pickle juice, mustard, salt, pepper, and garlic powder; mash together until creamy.
Stir in the finely diced dill pickles. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture into each egg white half.
Garnish each egg with a sprinkle of paprika and a generous pinch of browned bacon bits.
