Little Green Eggs and Ham Devils

Fun way to spice up a boring deviled egg. These eggs are filled with a spicy guacamole with a little egg yolk mashed in, and topped with bacon.

Original recipe makes 24 deviled eggs

Ingredients

12 eggs
6 slices bacon
3 avocados – halved, pitted, and mashed
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

  1. Place eggs in a saucepan; cover with water. Bring to a boil, remove from heat, and let eggs stand in hot water for 15 minutes. Remove eggs from hot water, cool under cold running water, and peel.
  2. Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels.
  3. Cut each egg in half lengthwise. Scoop egg yolks out; place 3 to 6 egg yolks in a bowl, reserving remaining egg yolks for another use.
  4. Mash the 3 to 6 egg yolks with a fork; stir in avocado, lemon juice, cayenne pepper, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Arrange egg whites cut-side-up on a serving platter. Spoon avocado mixture into egg whites.
  6. Chop bacon into 1/2-inch pieces; place bacon and paprika in a small bowl and toss to coat bacon. Top deviled eggs with bacon pieces.
