Makes 12
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs, hard-boiled and cold
- 4 streaky bacon rashers, cooked crisp and crumbled, plus a little extra for garnish.
- 1 large Hass avocado, peeled, pitted and cubed
- 2 tablespoons of salsa
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon of dried onion flakes (or finely cut a red Spanish onion)
- 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt
- pinch of cayenne pepper
Method
- Carefully remove the shell from the hard-boiled eggs. Using a sharp knife, slice the hard-boiled eggs in half and pop the yolks out into a large mixing bowl.
TIP: To keep your cuts clean and not tear the egg white, wipe the knife clean after slicing each egg! - Using a fork, mash the yolks. Add in the cooled crumbled bacon, the cubed avocado, salsa, minced garlic, lime juice, onion flakes, salt and cayenne pepper.
- Mash the ingredients all together with the fork, mixing them as you go to incorporate them well.
- Put the smashed avo and egg mixture into a piping bag (or a large zip-lock bag) and set it aside while you arrange the hard-boiled egg whites on a serving plate.
TIP: Use shredded lettuce to create a ‘bed’ to keep the eggs in place and stop them from slipping around the plate. - Push the egg mixture into the corner of the piping bag (or zip-lock bag) and snip the corner off. Carefully pipe the mixture back into the boiled egg white halves, dividing it evenly so all eggs are roughly the same.
- Once they’re piped, top each egg with a sprinkling of extra bacon crumbs.
- Cover with plastic wrap and keep cold in the fridge until ready to serve. Yum!
