Deviled Eggs with Avocado & Bacon
Deviled eggs can be filled and topped with whatever flavorings you like!
Ingredients
- 6 eggs hard boiled
- 2-4 Tbsp mayonnaise to taste (recipe for homemade Mayonnaise)
- 1-2 tsp GF Dijon or regular mustard to taste
- 1/4-1/2 tsp paprika to taste
- Salt and pepper
Additional Flavor Suggestions
- 2 Tbsp GF goat cheese or 1 Tbsp crumbled GF bleu cheese or 2 slices finely diced ham + 1 finely diced dill pickle
Topping Suggestions
- Avocado slices dip in lemon juice to prevent browning
- Chopped cooked GF bacon

Instructions
- Once eggs are hard boiled (about 14 minutes), allow to cool completely. Cold eggs will shrink away from the shells, making them easier to peel.
- Slice in half lengthwise, remove yolks into bowl. Add all ingredients, and combine using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Taste, then adjust the seasonings and add any flavorings you like.
- Place mixture into a plastic bag, and snip tip off with scissors (or use pinking shears for a rosette-style piped looked).
- Gently squeeze filling into each cooked egg half. Garnish with any toppings you'd like.
