Ingredients:

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon lime or lemon juice
  • 2 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons red onion, finely diced
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh cilantro or chives for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Boil the Eggs: Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, remove from heat and cover the pan. Let the eggs sit for 10-12 minutes. Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool, then peel them once they are completely cooled.
  2. Halve and Remove Yolks: Slice the eggs in half lengthwise and carefully remove the yolks. Place the yolks in a mixing bowl and the egg whites on a serving platter.
  3. Prepare the Avocado Filling: In the bowl with the egg yolks, add the avocado, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lime or lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mash the mixture until smooth and creamy.
  4. Add Bacon and Red Onion: Stir in the crumbled bacon (reserving some for garnish) and the diced red onion, mixing until evenly distributed throughout the filling.
  5. Fill the Egg Whites: Spoon or pipe the avocado mixture into the hollowed-out egg whites.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Garnish each deviled egg with extra crumbled bacon and fresh cilantro or chives for a pop of color and added flavor. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes:

  • This recipe makes 12 deviled eggs, perfect for a small gathering or party.
  • For added flavor, you can sprinkle a little smoked paprika or crushed red pepper flakes on top.
  • Make sure to use a perfectly ripe avocado to achieve a creamy, smooth texture in the filling.
