Bacon-Avocado Deviled Eggs

By msippigrl

These deviled eggs with bacon and crushed red peppers are full of flavor and a great way to add healthy avocado to your diet.

Ingredients

• 8 large hard-boiled eggs, peeled
• 1 medium size ripe Haas avocado, peeled and roughly chopped
• scant 1/4 cup mayo, or to taste
• 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red peppers, or to taste
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon salt, optional
• 3 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled (or packaged 'real' bacon pieces)

Preparation

Step 1

Slice the hard-boiled eggs in half lengthwise and remove the yolks; place the whites on a serving plate and the yolks in a mixing bowl.

Add all the other ingredients EXCEPT the bacon to the yolks. Beat the mixture well with a hand mixer until creamy.

Fill the egg white halves with the mixture. (I spooned the mixture into a ziptop bag then cut a corner off and piped it into the whites).

Top with crumbled bacon.
