storage/reheating
Store avocado bacon deviled eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Because avocado oxidizes quickly, it’s best to serve these the day they are made. To maintain freshness, cover the surface of the eggs with plastic wrap. These are not suitable for freezing and should not be reheated.
FAQs
Can I make avocado bacon deviled eggs in advance?
Yes, but they are best when served fresh. Assemble a few hours before serving and refrigerate until ready.
How do I prevent the avocado from browning?
Adding lime juice helps slow oxidation. Also, store the eggs with plastic wrap pressed against the surface of the filling.
Can I use store-bought boiled eggs?
Yes, store-bought hard-boiled eggs can save time and work well in this recipe.
What type of bacon is best?
Thick-cut, crispy bacon adds the best texture and flavor contrast.
Can I skip the mayonnaise?
Yes, you can replace it with Greek yogurt or sour cream for a similar creamy effect.
Are these deviled eggs keto-friendly?
Yes, they are low in carbs and high in healthy fats and protein, making them keto-compatible.
What can I use instead of lime juice?
Lemon juice can be used as an alternative to maintain the avocado’s color and add acidity.
Can I use a food processor to blend the filling?
Yes, a food processor can create an ultra-smooth texture, but mashing by hand offers more control over consistency.
How long can I keep deviled eggs out at room temperature?
No more than 2 hours, especially if they contain mayonnaise and avocado.
Can I make these without cilantro?
Yes, cilantro is optional. You may substitute it with chives, parsley, or omit it entirely.
