When I think of picnics and cookouts I think of deviled eggs. The dad of my husband’s family loves deviled eggs and we always have them at every gathering; usually made the traditional way with mayonnaise, mustard, a little sour cream and a sprinkle of paprika on top. This is the way it’s always been and we just don’t mess with a good thing.
Bacon guacamole deviled eggs, awesome!
Along comes yours truly who’s always tampering with recipes and I saw this idea for mixing guacamole with the deviled egg filling; and since bacon also goes with eggs why not add some of that too? Two great foods that we love can only get better when combined, right? No matter how you look at it these had to be a match made in heaven. Well, turns out I was right on that score. Just about everyone at our cookout loved my new-fangled deviled eggs—except the dad. I made a few the way he likes them just for him!
If you like deviled eggs and you also like guacamole, then I think you’re going to like these eggs very much! Make a lot, they will disappear quickly.
