Avocado & Bacon Deviled Eggs (Green Eggs & Ham)

May 9, 2017 by Chelsea Leave a Comment

Okay, so these deviled eggs may not exactly be what Dr. Seuss was picturing when he wrote the classic children’s book, but this is what I think of when I picture green eggs & ham.

Although not literally green (gross), the yolks of these eggs are mashed with avocado in lieu of mayo, giving them a slight green hue. Pair them with some crispy bacon bits, and well, green eggs and ham.

In my home, mayonnaise is used very sparingly. It has its place: in the occasional deviled egg, or spread across the outsides of a grilled cheese before grilling (trust me, so good), but in general, any recipe requiring the use of mayonnaise gets altered.

In sauces and tuna melts, for example, the mayonnaise gets replaced with a thick yogurt. In an egg salad sandwich, the mayo gets swapped with a combination of mustard and hummus. And sometimes in deviled eggs like these, the mayo gets replaced with creamy, mashed avocado.

If I had to share one tip in filling deviled eggs it’s this: use a piping bag. Seriously! It is ridiculously difficult to fill deviled egg with a spoon without it turning into a globby mess. Piping bags take the mess right out of it.

Don’t have a piping bag? Use a regular old ziploc bag. Fill the yolk filling into the bag, then snip off the corner and squeeze a bit of filling into each egg. As a bonus, just toss the bag when you’re done.

Ingredients
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 ripe avocado, pitted and peeled
  • 6 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled into bits
