Ingredients

Eggs

6 large eggs

Avocado bacon filling

1 medium ripe avocado pitted and peeled
3 slices sugar-free bacon cooked until crispy and crumbled, plus extra for garnish if desired
2 tablespoons mayonnaise sugar-free, preferably avocado oil based
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard no added sugar
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika plus more for garnish
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon sea salt or to taste
1/8 teaspoon black pepper or to taste

Optional garnish

1 tablespoon fresh chives finely sliced

Instructions

Place the eggs in a single layer in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by about 1 inch.
Bring the water just to a boil over medium-high heat, then cover the pan, turn off the heat, and let the eggs sit in the hot water for about 9 minutes.
Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water and let them cool completely, then gently peel the shells under running water.
Slice each egg in half lengthwise and carefully pop the yolks into a mixing bowl, arranging the egg white halves cut side up on a serving platter.
Add the avocado, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, smoked paprika, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the yolks.
Mash the mixture with a fork until mostly smooth but still slightly textured, then fold in the crumbled bacon, reserving a little for garnish if desired.
Taste the filling and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice as needed to balance richness and brightness.
Spoon or pipe the avocado bacon filling generously into the egg white halves, mounding it slightly.
Garnish the deviled eggs with the remaining bacon crumbles, a light sprinkle of smoked paprika, and fresh chives if using, then chill until ready to serve.

Notes

For the best texture, use just ripe avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure without feeling mushy. Cook the bacon fully until crisp so it stays crunchy when mixed into the creamy filling. To prep ahead, store the egg whites and the avocado yolk mixture separately in the refrigerator, pressing plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the filling to limit browning, and assemble within 3 days for optimal color and flavor. Serve the deviled eggs chilled and avoid reheating, as warming can dull the flavor and change the texture of the avocado.
