Avocado Deviled Eggs

Deviled eggs are an old-fashioned party favorite. This tasty finger-food appetizer is always a crowd-pleaser because it’s creamy, salty, and delicious. There are tons of different ways to stuff these little eggs and each way produces a unique taste.

For a different twist on the classic deviled egg, I added avocado as a main ingredient. The avocado is rich and creamy, and is an excellent replacement to all that mayonnaise that is usually in most deviled egg recipes.

I added a little paleo mayo, which is completely optional, and some crispy bacon to the top, which is optional as well (but in my opinion completely necessary). You might also consider changing up the recipe for these avocado deviled eggs and adding finely chopped jalapeno peppers, cilantro, parsley, or chives.
