🧾 Ingredients
For 12 deviled eggs (serves 6–8 as an appetizer):
6 large eggs
1 ripe avocado
2–3 slices of bacon, cooked crispy and crumbled
1 tablespoon finely diced red onion
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon chopped cilantro (optional)
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder or 1 small garlic clove, minced
1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
Pinch of black pepper
Optional: diced jalapeño for heat, paprika or chili powder for garnish
🍳 Instructions
1. Hard-boil the eggs
Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then cover, turn off the heat, and let sit for 10–12 minutes. Transfer to an ice bath to cool, then peel.
2. Prepare the bacon
Cook bacon in a skillet or oven until crispy. Drain on paper towels and crumble into small pieces.
3. Slice and scoop
Cut each egg in half lengthwise. Carefully remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl.
4. Make the guacamole filling
Add the avocado to the yolks and mash together until smooth. Stir in lime juice, red onion, garlic, salt, pepper, and half of the crumbled bacon. Add cilantro and diced jalapeño if desired.
5. Fill the eggs
Use a spoon or piping bag to fill the egg white halves with the guacamole mixture.
6. Garnish and serve
Top with remaining bacon crumbles. Sprinkle with paprika, chili powder, or extra cilantro for color and flair.
🧊 Storage & Make-Ahead Tips
These deviled eggs are best enjoyed fresh but can be made up to 4 hours in advance.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
To avoid browning, press a small piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the filling or add a few drops of lime juice before serving.
