Deviled eggs are always a hit at every party right?
In our group of family/friends they are always a must at every event.
They are just so damn good!
I can eat a platter all on my lonesome without blinking an eye.
Over the weekend we had a family BBQ for Memorial Day/Nephew's 3rd bday... I was in charge of bringing bean dip... I did THIS Hub's Dip.
Because I felt like that wasn't enough I decided to whip up some deviled eggs as well.... but then I hit a road block...
I had not mayo.
What to do?
Well check out this awesome recipe and you'll see....
Avocado Bacon Ranch Deviled Eggs
Recipe yields 1 1/2 dozen deviled eggs
Ingredients:
9 hard boiled eggs
1 1/2 avocados peeled and pitted
2 tbs of ranch dressing (homemade or store bought)
1 tbs of sour cream (I used light)
2-3 scallions chopped
The juice of one lime
Pinch of salt
4 slices of cooked extra crispy bacon
Directions:
Peal and slice eggs length wise.
Remove yolks and place in them in the bowl of your food processor.
Set egg whites aside.
Add your remaining ingredients except the bacon... set that aside.
Pulse the filling until it is smooth add more ranch dressing or sour cream if it is too dry.
Pipe filling into egg whites and top with bacon crumbles.
LOVE it! Thanks Carrie :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Michele!
DeleteI love how your recipes always have a healthy flair - another one to add on my "to do" list. Yumm!
ReplyDeleteLol... not quite healthy but at least more nutritious than the norm right?
DeleteI don't like deviled eggs but these look and sound damn good!
ReplyDeleteWell I'll take that as a high compliment then. Thanks!!
DeleteOh goodness, Carrie, these are so awesome. Avocado in anything = amazing in my book!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I am a bit obsessed with avocado recipes lately!
DeleteMy oh my this is genius. GENIUS.
ReplyDeleteIt was quite a good idea. Glad I was out of mayo!
DeleteWhat a great idea of using avocado in deviled eggs!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Asiya! I've been on an avocado kick lately...
DeleteUm….these are epic!! I can't wait to make!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I nominated you for an award! Check out the details here: http://foodstoriesblog.com/food-stories-award/
Thanks!! and oooo an award? I'm going to check it out.
DeleteWhat a great idea and the photo is gorgeous Carrie!
ReplyDeleteThanks friend!
DeleteI'm fond of deviled eggs but I love that you didn't give up when you didn't have mayo. What a clever recipe you created!
ReplyDeleteI would WAY prefer avocado over a mayo-based deviled egg. What a great idea.
ReplyDeleteI kinda have this sick addiction to deviled eggs. I even buy them prepared at the deli area of the grocery store....which is wrong I know! I love your addition of avacado, that sounds creamy and delicious! Hugs, Terra
ReplyDeleteYUM!!! These look awesome.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to try this. Sounds amazing!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are an absolute genius for using avocado in these!
ReplyDeleteOh wow! This recipe just made me crave some deviled eggs. Must try this!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! Does the avocado discolour/darken if the eggs are sitting for a while?
ReplyDeleteDon, the added lime juice holds the browning off a bit. Though they will brown eventually. I would not make these ahead of time, no more than 2 hours before you are set to eat.
DeleteYep - these are going on the top of my pile of recipes to make - stat! And as luck would have it I have THREE POUNDS of applewood smoked bacon in my fridge - I know you are probably jealous! :D
ReplyDeleteNice use of avocado. It would be super if you linked this post in to Food on Friday Series which is all about avocado this week.
ReplyDeleteI love deviled eggs and I love how you incorporated bacon and avocado (my fave ingredients).
ReplyDeleteJust Pinned this recipe. I love deviled eggs, and I'm now craving this version like crazy! Wish I had eggs and avocados in the house tonight. Tomorrow...
ReplyDeleteI just made these and they are pretty much one of the most amazing things on the planet. Thank you for this recipe!
ReplyDeleteJust made these, minus the scallions. They are awesome!!!
ReplyDeleteMmmmm....! These will satisfy my grandson's addiction for all things bacon, and for anything exotic. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThis might be a dumb question but can I make these the night before and serve them at lunch the next day?
ReplyDeleteNo the avocado will brown if it goes that long. I would recommend doing perhaps the morning of the lunch.
DeleteI don't recommend Ranch. Its not healthy for you. I will just use avocado with those minus bacon and its very taste and much healthier.
ReplyDeleteLOL then don't make a recipe titled "Avocado BACON RANCH Deviled Eggs."
