  • 1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder

Boiling the Eggs

Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat. Once boiling, remove from heat, cover, and let stand for 12-15 minutes. Immediately transfer the eggs to an ice bath to stop the cooking process and make them easier to peel.

Preparing the Avocado Filling

While the eggs are cooling, mash the avocado in a medium bowl. Add the lime juice, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until smooth and creamy.

Assembling the Deviled Eggs

Peel the cooled eggs and cut them in half lengthwise. Carefully remove the yolks and add them to the avocado mixture. Mash the yolks into the avocado until well combined.

Filling and Garnishing

Spoon or pipe the avocado-yolk mixture back into the egg white halves. Top each deviled egg with crumbled bacon and a sprinkle of paprika. Serve immediately or chill for later.

FAQ

  • Can I make these ahead of time?

    Yes, you can boil and peel the eggs ahead of time. However, it's best to prepare the avocado filling and assemble the deviled eggs just before serving to prevent the avocado from browning.
  • Can I use mayonnaise instead of avocado?

    Yes, but the nutritional profile will change. Using mayonnaise will increase the fat content and decrease the fiber. Consider using a high-quality avocado mayo for a similar taste and texture.
