More About This Recipe

Martha Salas Around Easter, the tradition of looking for hidden eggs, painting them and, of course, preparing stuffed eggs in thousands of ways is the most fun part. My daughters' favorite recipe is deviled eggs with bacon and avocado. When I was little, my mom used to fill them with a mixture of mayo, mustard and ground ham—really delicious. But since I always like being inventive and creating new recipes, today I have a new one for you. My daughters help me in the kitchen during their time off. At any time of the year, we make deviled eggs with a crunchy touch of bacon and pieces of avocado for that special touch. Besides being decorative, they're original and everyone likes them; they're great for picnics, celebrations or just to satisfy a craving!
