Ingredients:
- 6 large eggs
- 1 ripe avocado, peeled and pitted
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 3-4 slices of cooked bacon, crumbled
- Paprika, for garnish
- Chopped chives or cilantro, for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Boil the Eggs: Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the pot, remove it from heat, and let it sit for 10-12 minutes. Afterward, transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool for about 5 minutes, then peel them.
- Prepare the Filling: Cut the peeled eggs in half lengthwise and gently remove the yolks, placing them in a mixing bowl. Add the avocado, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lime juice, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Mash everything together until smooth and creamy.
- Fill the Eggs: Spoon or pipe the avocado-yolk mixture back into the hollowed-out egg whites. You can use a pastry bag or a plastic bag with the corner snipped off for a more polished look.
- Add the Bacon: Sprinkle the crumbled bacon on top of the filled eggs and dust with paprika for color. If desired, garnish with chopped chives or cilantro for a fresh touch.
- Serve: Arrange the Bacon Avocado Deviled Eggs on a serving platter and enjoy immediately, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving. These tasty bites are sure to impress at your next gathering!
