Method
Boil and cool the eggs
- Place the large eggs in a pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then cover and remove from heat and let stand for 12 minutes.
- Transfer the eggs to an ice bath for 10 minutes to chill. Peel and halve lengthwise.
Make the deviled filling
- Mash the yolks with avocado oil mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, and salt until smooth. Keep mashing until the mixture looks creamy and evenly combined.
- Fold in half of the sugar-free bacon. Mix just until the bacon is evenly distributed throughout the filling.
Fill and top
- Pipe the filling into the egg whites. Fill each half all the way to the edges for a neat, mound-shaped look.
- Top with the remaining sugar-free bacon and fresh chives. Finish with a visible layer of bacon crumbles and a sprinkle of chives.
Notes
For the smoothest filling, mash the yolks until no dry bits remain before mixing in the mayonnaise. Refrigerate in an airtight container up to 4 days; the whites may soften slightly but stay good. Freezing is not recommended for deviled eggs. For a dairy-free swap, use a mayo made without dairy ingredients (still keep it sugar-free for keto).
