  • Prep Time: 28 minutes
  • Cook Time: 12 minutes
  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 24 deviled egg halves 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 12 large eggs
  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 1 small jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 4 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • Paprika, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Boil Eggs (12 minutes + cooling): Place the eggs in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then cover, turn off the heat, and let sit for 12 minutes. Transfer the eggs to an ice water bath to cool completely.
  2. Prepare the Guacamole (10 minutes): While the eggs are cooling, peel and pit the avocados. In a bowl, mash the avocados with lime juice until smooth. Stir in the red onion, jalapeño (if using), cilantro, and half of the crumbled bacon. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Peel and Halve Eggs (5 minutes): Once cooled, peel the eggs and slice them in half lengthwise. Carefully remove the yolks and add them to the guacamole mixture, mashing and stirring until well combined and smooth.
  4. Fill Egg Whites (10 minutes): Spoon or pipe the guacamole mixture back into the egg whites, filling them generously.
  5. Garnish and Serve (3 minutes): Sprinkle the filled eggs with the remaining bacon crumbles and a light dusting of paprika for color. Arrange the eggs on a platter and serve immediately, or chill until serving.

Notes

These deviled eggs are a crowd-pleaser, offering a unique and tasty variation on traditional deviled eggs.

For the best results, use fresh, ripe avocados and high-quality bacon. These eggs can be made a few hours in advance, but for the freshest taste and appearance, prepare close to serving time.

The addition of jalapeño offers a nice kick, but it can be omitted or adjusted according to your spice preference. Serve with your favorite sides and enjoy!

Home Fries

Grab a couple of good ol' russet potatoes, and cut them into bite-sized cubes. A quick tip: to ensure even cooking, try to keep those cubes roughly the same size. In a large skillet, heat a mix of butter and oil (they’re a match made in heaven for flavor and crispiness). Toss in your potato cubes and cook, stirring occasionally, until they start to turn golden. For an extra layer of yum, consider adding diced onions and bell peppers. Season with salt, pepper, and maybe a sprinkle of paprika or garlic powder for a kick. Cook until the potatoes are crispy outside but soft inside.

Watermelon and Feta Salad

First, cube up some chilled watermelon, getting rid of any seeds. Scatter a good handful of fresh blueberries over it. Now, for the contrast: crumble or cube some tangy feta cheese over the sweet fruits. The creamy, salty bite of the cheese complements the sweetness perfectly. If you're in the mood for a dash of zest, drizzle a light lemon or lime dressing over the top. Maybe even sprinkle on some chopped fresh mint or basil. Mix it gently, and voila!

Strawberry Smoothie

You'll need about 1 cup of fresh strawberries (or frozen if you've got 'em), 1/2 a banana to add creaminess, 1 cup of your favorite milk (almond, cow’s, soy – whatever floats your boat), and a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of sugar for a touch of sweetness. Optional: a dollop of yogurt for added richness and probiotics. Pop everything into your blender, give it a whirl until it's silky smooth, and pour into a chilled glass. If you're feeling a tad adventurous, toss in a handful of oats or your choice of protein powder for an extra kick.
