Instructions

Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat, cover, and let sit for 10-12 minutes.
Drain and transfer eggs to an ice bath to cool. Peel the eggs and slice them in half lengthwise.
Remove the yolks and place them in a medium bowl. Mash yolks with avocado, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and lime juice until smooth.
Stir in the crumbled bacon (reserving a little for topping), red onion, and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Spoon or pipe the mixture back into the egg white halves.
Sprinkle with reserved bacon bits and a light dusting of paprika if desired.
Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

Use perfectly ripe avocado for the creamiest texture.
For extra smokiness, try using smoked paprika as a garnish.
Best served fresh, but can be refrigerated for up to 4 hours before serving.
