What You'll Need

5 ingredients for deviled eggs with bacon laid out individually with labels
  • Everything Seasoning - You could use store-bought Everything Bagel Seasoning or make your own. Use my recipe for Everything Seasoning to save money and ensure that yours is gluten-free.
  • Mayonnaise - Use ready-made mayonnaise or make your own with pure, simple ingredients.
  • Avocado - Choose a nice, ripe avocado that's soft and creamy without being overripe.

How to Make Them

Hard boil the eggs. (There are Instant Pot directions in the recipe notes.) Then plunge them into cold water.

Recipe Tips and FAQ's

How do you get boiled eggs to peel easily?

I find that eggs that aren't extremely fresh peel better than really fresh ones.
For some reason, eggs also seem to peel easier when they've been hard-boiled in the Instant Pot. Chill them by plunging them into cold water as soon as they've cooked.

Tap the boiled egg on the broad end to crack it. That's where the air pocket forms. If you can break into the air pocket immediately, it's a simple matter to then pull the rest of the shell away.

How to Cook Bacon

There's a very handy guide for How to Cook Bacon in the Oven from chef Markus at Earth, Food and Fire.

His method is a great way to cook up lots of bacon at once. Perhaps cook the whole pound, even if only a couple of you are having some for breakfast. Then, put the rest away in the refrigerator for recipes such as this deviled egg one, for salad topping, for Bacon and Cheese stuffed Mushrooms, or for Creamy Sweet Potato Salad with Bacon.

How far in advance can I make deviled eggs?

Because of the avocado in here, these deviled eggs are best served right away. They'll taste fine the next day, but they will look dark.

However, you can boil and peel the eggs a day ahead of time. You can also have your mayonnaise, seasoning, and bacon ready to go.

Notes

Instant Pot Directions for Hard Boiling Eggs:
a) Add 1 cup of water to the bowl of the Instant Pot. Set 6 to 8 eggs into it on the trivet.
b) Set Pressure Cook for 8 minutes.
c) When 8 minutes are up, carefully, wearing an oven mitt, turn the valve to release steam.
d) As soon as the button drops, open the Instant Pot, lift out the trivet with eggs, and plunge the eggs into ice water.
OR
Pressure cook for 5 minutes and allow 5 minutes for the pressure to release naturally, before you touch the valve. (This method requires keeping an eye on the timer.)

      Thanks for letting me know! The guacamole would be a nice, easy substitute for avocado. I like it!
