Print Recipe

A quick and easy keto-friendly snack combining creamy avocado and classic deviled eggs topped with crispy bacon crumble. Perfect for low-carb diets and entertaining.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
  • 1 medium ripe avocado, mashed
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (full-fat preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika, plus extra for garnish
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 3 slices thick-cut bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled

Instructions

  1. Place 6 large eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by about an inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, turn off heat, cover the pan, and let eggs sit for 10-12 minutes. Transfer eggs to an ice bath to cool for 5 minutes.
  2. Gently tap each egg on the counter to crack, then peel under running water to remove shells smoothly. Slice eggs lengthwise in half and carefully scoop out yolks into a mixing bowl. Set the whites aside on a serving platter.
  3. Mash the yolks with one ripe avocado using a fork or potato masher until smooth but slightly chunky. Add 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir until well combined.
  4. Cook 3 slices of thick-cut bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally. Transfer to paper towels to drain and cool, then crumble into small pieces.
  5. Spoon or pipe the creamy avocado yolk mixture into each egg white half. Sprinkle the crumbled bacon generously on top. Finish with a light dusting of smoked paprika.
  6. Refrigerate the deviled eggs for at least 15 minutes before serving to let flavors meld and filling firm up slightly. Serve cold or at room temperature.

Notes

Use a piping bag for neater filling. If avocado is not ripe, add extra lemon juice to keep filling fresh. A teaspoon of olive oil can smooth out thick filling. Bacon can be baked as an alternative to pan-frying. Store bacon separately to keep it crispy. Make ahead by preparing filling and eggs separately and assembling before serving.
