What Most People Don’t Know About Making Bacon Guacamole Deviled Eggs
- Dried Onion Needs a Little Help: If you add dried minced onion straight into a creamy filling, it can taste chewy or crunchy. Letting it sit in lime juice first softens it and improves the flavor.
- Avocado Needs Enough Lime and Salt: Lime keeps the filling bright, and salt brings out the flavor. Bald Buck Seasoning may be enough, but always taste the filling before piping and adjust if needed.
- Bacon Belongs in Two Places: Mix some bacon into the filling for smoky flavor, then save some for the top so every bite has that crispy bacon crunch.
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
- 4 strips thick-cut bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
- 1 large ripe avocado, peeled and pitted
- 2 tablespoons thick salsa, drained if watery
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon dried minced onion
- 1 small garlic clove, finely minced
- 1 tablespoon Bald Buck Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise or sour cream, optional but recommended
- Chopped cilantro, optional
- Pinch of smoked paprika, optional
Instructions
- Prepare the Eggs: Slice the hard-boiled eggs in half lengthwise. Gently pop the yolks into a mixing bowl and place the egg white halves on a serving plate.
- Soften the Onion: In a small bowl, stir together the lime juice and dried minced onion. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes so the onion softens.
- Mash the Yolks: Mash the egg yolks with a fork until they are crumbly.
- Make the Filling: Add the avocado, drained salsa, softened onion with lime juice, garlic, Bald Buck Seasoning, and mayonnaise or sour cream if using. Mash and stir until the filling is mostly smooth. A few small avocado chunks are fine.
- Add Bacon: Stir in about half of the crumbled bacon. Save the rest for topping.
- Taste and Adjust: Add a pinch of Bald Buck Seasoning if needed. Add a little more lime juice if the filling tastes too rich.
- Fill a Piping Bag: Spoon the filling into a piping bag or a resealable plastic bag. Push the filling into one corner, then snip off the corner.
- Pipe the Filling: Pipe the filling into the egg white halves.
- Top with Bacon: Sprinkle the remaining bacon over each deviled egg.
- Serve or Chill: Serve right away, or chill for 15–30 minutes. If chilling, cover the eggs with plastic wrap, pressing it as close to the filling as possible to help slow browning.
- Garnish: Add chopped cilantro or a light sprinkle of smoked paprika right before serving if desired.
Bald Buck’s Best Tips
- Use a Ripe Avocado: It should give slightly when pressed. If it's too firm, the filling won't become creamy.
- Use Thick Salsa: Drain off any extra liquid before mixing. Watery salsa can make the filling loose and messy.
- Serve the Same Day: These deviled eggs are best enjoyed fresh since avocado naturally browns over time.
