So much better than your traditional-style deviled eggs! Loaded with avocado and crisp bacon bits. Can be made up to 3 hours ahead!
I’m so bummed I have to miss Easter this year.
I’ll be in Hong Kong. Eating stupid dimsum and eggettes instead.
But don’t worry. I still have these deviled eggs for you. It’ll come in super handy when you end up with all those Easter Hunteggs.
So save them. Split them. And fill them with homemade guacamole with crisp bacon bits. It’ll be the best part of your Easter.
And have a few extra ones for me, please! I’ll be devouring them alongside in spirit.

5 Stars cuz I love deviled eggs, Little time OH and these with the Avocado were great. When you get started with the eggs, take a pin like the ones you put or stick notes on a cork board, pierce the air end of the egg, start the water boiling, boil them 4-5 minutes till their done. After the eggs are done dump the water out, with the eggs in the pan bang them around in it to break the shells, cover them with ice and cold water and let them cool. Now the alum will go back into the center of the yoke and you will never have dark black edges or yokes, and the shells will almost fall off.

I used to never eat boiled eggs unless they were in a salad, much less straight up deviled eggs. Texture issues. These eggs are amazing! The bacon gives it some texture. Paired it with reading Dr. Seuss’s “Green Eggs and Ham” for the kiddos. Tangy, cilantro-y, damn delicious!!!

So I made these last year for Thanksgiving and Christmas and I can’t believe that there are no reviews. These were a HUGE HIT and my nephews and I dubbed them green eggs and ham…although it was bacon…same concept! Everyone loved them. They are delicious and perfect appetizers for those early guests who have starved themselves all day in anticipation for a holiday feast! I’m bringing them again this year. I’m excited to eat and share them!

This sounds DELISH!! Do you have any idea how long they can sit in or out of the fridge before it starts to turn brown (like Avacodo does) Thanks!! Or does the lemon keep it from doing that?

Chungah — April 17, 2017 @ 4:49 PM Reply
They probably should be consumed the same day, if they even last that long! And yes, the lemon will keep from turning brown.
