Avocado Bacon Deviled Eggs
Makes 6 servings
- 2 slices of bacon, diced or crumbled (I use nitrate-free applewood smoked.)
- 6 large, peeled, hard-boiled eggs (look for organic & free-range)
- 1 avocado, halved, pitted, and peeled
- 2 1/2 Tbs. olive oil mayonnaise
- 2 Tbs. fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 Tbs. green onions, finely chopped
- 1 Tbs. lemon juice
- zest of 1 lemon
- 1 tsp. Dijon mustard
- garlic powder to taste
- sea salt & ground black pepper to taste
- cayenne pepper (optional)
- paprika (optional)
Cut the eggs in half length-wise, scoop out the yolks, and place them in a small bowl. Add the avocado, mayonnaise, cilantro, green onion, lemon juice, zest, and mustard and mash until combined and creamy. Season to taste with garlic powder, sea salt, black pepper, and cayenne (optional). Pipe or dab the filling into the egg whites. Sprinkle with bacon bits and garnish with paprika.
