Let’s talk deviled eggs, shall we. They are amazingly delicious But they have been around for decades without much change. I typically make them the same way mom makes them, who makes them the same way her mom makes them, etc. I’ve been thinking about how I could update the traditional deviled egg with a bit of a modern twist.
Then, it came to me in the middle of the night….AVOCADO! It’s my newest love and I just can’t seem to get enough of this tasty fruit. Wait…stop…there’s more! What could make this egg even better than adding avocado….BACON! Oh yes I just said bacon.

I probably shouldn’t mention that I just ate the filling topped with bacon on a spoon, but as you know I’m allergic to the whites….so I had to. I had to know what I posting. It’s a perk of the job. {I know…you’re jealous, aren’t you?} Well, don’t be. These are super easy.
In fact, these babies will be making an appearance at all holiday meals, picnics, potlucks, and family functions from now until forever. Yes, they are that good. I love my new Vonny LA Deviled Egg Carrier and it will make transporting these bites of avocado heaven a breeze. The bag is stiff, has a non-skid surface on the inside, the carrier is made of an easy-to-clean laminated printed canvas, and even comes with the egg tray. The egg tray holds 11 eggs (not sure why not 12, but I guess that’s so you can taste your creation before taking the rest to a party).
Seriously, Vonny’s line of products is so adorable and functional that I had to share them with you. They would make amazing gifts for mother’s day, bridal showers, your bff, or just because you deserve something amazing. I also am in love with the Casserole Tote. I have one that matches my Egg Carrier, but haven’t had the chance to use it yet. The best part is that it is made to hold a 9×13 casserole dish (so no special dish is required, just use what you’ve got) and it has a pocket on top to hold serving utensils.
Let’s get back to the Avocado Bacon Deviled Eggs
You know the comedian Jim Gaffigan? He has a bit where he says bacon is the fairy dust of the food world. I laugh so hard every time I hear him say it, but it’s so true. Everything tastes better with bacon. The bacon crumbles perched on top of the eggs adds the perfect amount of smokey, salty goodness that the eggs need. On that note…I wouldn’t use maple bacon, but rather a nice smokey bacon.
Great avocados are just starting to hit the shelves now and I’m so excited. All winter long I was so sad that the avocados in my area were horrible and small, but I found some beautiful avocados at the store this week and can’t wait to make some guacamole too!

Disclaimer: Vonny gave me some carriers to try out for the giveaway, but I love them so much they worked themselves into this recipe. 🙂
Is there something I can use to substitute the mayo?
Hi Ashley! Why do you want to sub the mayo? Allergy? Texture? etc? That will help me figure out a good substitute for you. I’m sure we can come up with something.

I love this recipe, simple and filled with delicious ingredients!
These look delicious and for my vegetarian family members, I can use bacon bits that aren’t real meat.
Devil eggs with avocado and bacon sounds really interesting.Plus it looks so amazing I am willing to try this out. Thanks so much for sharing

Yummy!
Oh my… these look great. My husband loves deviled eggs and I think he would love this recipe, too!
Love the Avocado Deviled Eggs Recipe. I pinned that one.
How cute is that carrier and the combination of flavors sounds wonderful!
love the deviled egg carrier, how clever is that to carry the eggs so much easier!
Just less than a year ago, I found out i loved avocado. All these years saying yuck to it, but one day Dr. Oz said it was a super food,so I tried it and fell in love. I love deviled eggs so I will be trying your recipe Wendy. Yummmmy
Yum. Deviled eggs are one of my favorites and adding bacon and avocados only makes them that much better!
sounds like a good recipe. A change from the usual deviled eggs
love the dressed up deviled egg recipe but love the carrier even more in fact I want one
I love your farmers market totes!
I love the egg carrier! So convenient
I never would have thought to add anything to my deviled eggs, I’m not adventurous that way, but seeing you do this made it look super yummy. I’m going to have to at least try this 🙂
Yummy!! Love that deviled egg carrier too! Darling!
What a healthy twist on deviled eggs – genius!
Love deviled eggs. Super cute carrier to tote them around in.
I have never made devilled eggs. these will have to be my first! Love the carrier!
DEVILED EGG
Sounds wonderful!
Yum! I’ve got a resolution to add more avocado to my life in 2013, and these would fit the bill.
I think it’s great how you can find delicious things to post that fit in (at least, somewhat) with your food allergies. I bet this filling would be good on a cracker or carrot stick or even full on green in a piece of celery.
Thanks!
We must have been having the same dream then! 😉 It’s so crazy, cause I made these last Monday, then saw them on Skinny Taste on Wednesday, and am just now seeing them on your blog! HAHA, Love it!
Love these so much! I’m totally obsessed with avocado too!
We should have an avocado party Stephanie! 🙂
love love love the deviled egg carrier!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Vonny! I just adore it too!
What a neat combination!
Thanks Ellen!
What a fantastic idea! I love avocados too and they do go so well with eggs. I have something else to say but before I do I want to assure you that I think these look gorgeous and that the next thing I’m about to say is not supposed to imply that they don’t. But seriously, these would have been perfect for Dr. Seuss’s birthday on March 1st. Green eggs! Ha ha!
Thank you! And these would totally be perfect for Dr. Seuss’s bday!
I loooove devils eggs. I looooove eggs. I loooove avocados. I looooooove bacon. Yeah, you can say I kinda like this.
Me too Belinda! I served them for a family supper the other night and there were none left. So good!
