Two appetizer favorites in one, these Bacon Guacamole Deviled Eggs take on the best qualities of the popular avocado dip and nix the chip!
For being on vacation, my week so far has been way more hectic than when I’m not.
Two parties, yard work, laundry, and a handful of recipes made and photographed for the blog.
The rest of the week promises pretty much more of the same. And a Disney day thrown in there, before the Food & Wine Festival ends.
This is one of those vacations where I need a vacation from my vacation!
I’ve been so all over the place, I’ve barely had time to eat!
And if you know me, you understand the tragedy in that.
Luckily, I made plenty of these Bacon Guacamole Deviled Eggs the other day for our annual Friend-O-Ween Party, and they’ve been easy to grab on the go!
Bacon Guacamole Deviled Eggs
I’m a huge deviled egg fan.
Eggy, mayonnaise-y, mustardy little two-bites of deliciousness.
Eggs are part of my food pyramid anyway, but making them devilish makes them that much more tempting.
(Ironic.)
And it’s so easy to go back for seconds, thirds, eighths…
I was a hard sell on guacamole, though.
It took Mr. Crumby a LOT of trickery and convincing me to try avocados before I was on board with guac.
I was truly afraid to try avocados. Texture, perhaps.
Luckily, he’s a stellar chef, and rarely makes a bad dish.
Aaaaand his guac is the bomb, guys.
Last year, for Friend-O-Ween, we carved one of those little puking pumpkins; his brains were salsa, and he was spewing Abe’s delicious guac.
It was hilarious. Total conversation starter.
We don’t like repeating ourselves when it comes to party foods, so I decided to combine my favorite appetizer with his (and add some bacon), and voilà! Bacon Guacamole Deviled Eggs.
(Besides, we forgot to buy chips, anyway.)
These put a nice, different spin on a classic appetizer, and they’re worth a try!
Bet you can’t eat just one!
(I couldn’t!)

Bacon Guacamole Deviled Eggs
Ingredients
- 12 hard boiled eggs
- 1 medium ripe avocado peeled and pitted
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- ½ lime juiced

- 1 small sweet red pepper minced
- 2 tablespoons cilantro minced
- ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions
- Peel the eggs and rinse them. Cut each egg in half, and pop the yolk out into a medium-sized bowl; mash yolks. Set whites aside on a serving tray.
- To the egg yolks, add avocado, mayonnaise, mustard, and lime juice; stir until well combined - if you like chunky guacamole, feel free to leave in that way!
- Stir in onion, red pepper, cilantro, and cayenne, mixing until evenly distributed. Add salt to taste.
- Fill an untipped pastry bag (or Ziploc with the corner cut off) and pipe filling into egg whites.
- Sprinkle eggs with paprika, then top each with crumbled bacon pieces.

These look great! I love a good deviled egg but have resisted the temptation to alter from traditional. But bacon… girl you’re speaking my love language!

You know, this is the first time I’ve ever strayed from my classic recipe, but I’m glad I did!
Slim Pickin's Kitchen says
These look awesome! Although I won’t lie, I *LOATHE* mayonnaise and egg yolks, but I would definitely give these a try and use Greek yogurt instead b/c I adore guac & bacon so I’m positive those flavors would be super powerful. What an awesome idea! My favorite appetizer is all of them! Seriously, I can’t just name one. The hubs and I love to have appetizer nights.
erica acevedo says
These would be great with Greek yogurt in place of the mayo! Man, you can sub that stuff in for nearly anything, can’t you? 🙂

OMG this looks amazing!! What a great combination. Eggs and guac are like my two favorite foods, so pairing them together with a hint of bacon sounds so yummy! I will have to try them.

These look amazing! I keep hearing about using guacamole in deviled eggs! I can’t wait to make them!
erica acevedo says
It’s a yummy spin on them, that’s for sure! Thanks, Artney!
Jenna Brussee says
These sound so good! I made avocado deviled eggs once, but adding bacon is a brilliant idea.
erica acevedo says
It’s true what they say about bacon. It makes everything better. 🙂
Tiffany Khyla says
Guacamole and bacon are two of my favorite things! I never thought to put them in a deviled egg recipe, another thing I love! I have to try this!
erica acevedo says
Bacon makes the world go round. <3
Madison says
I’m not a fan of eggs, but this idea is brilliant. i’m kind of the opposite of you, the only way you’d get me to even think about eggs is by adding guacamole. It’s my faaaavorite.
erica acevedo says
It’s so crazy how different people’s palettes are! Maybe one day I’ll have you convinced, Madison! 🙂
SherryO says
Hi Erica – stopping by after finding your YUMMY bacon guacamole deviled eggs included in Bakerette’s NYE appetizer round-up. Until recently I was like you – wary to try guac/avocado. What a dummy I was – missing out on it for so long! Now, I just love guac – look for ways to use it with other things … and now I have yet another way so thank you. Happy New Year!
