A simple favorite is made extra special with the addition of bacon and tasty Swiss cheese. Eggs are a wonderful addition to the keto diet because they are an excellent source of fat and protein, about 63 percent and 35 percent, respectively, in one large egg. Deviled eggs can be eaten as a quick snack or taken to a get-together on a pretty platter for everyone to enjoy.
6 large eggs, hardboiled and peeled
¼ cup Creamy Mayonnaise
¼ avocado, chopped
¼ cup Swiss cheese, finely shredded
½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
Freshly ground black pepper
6 bacon slices, cooked and chopped
1. Halve each of the eggs lengthwise.
2. Carefully remove the yolk and place the yolks in a medium bowl. Place the whites, hollow-side up, on a plate.
3. Mash the yolks with a fork and add the mayonnaise, avocado, cheese, and Dijon mustard. Stir until well mixed. Season the yolk mixture with the black pepper.
4. Spoon the yolk mixture back into the egg white hollows and top each egg half with the chopped bacon.
5. Store the eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
PREP TIP
Hardboiled eggs make perfect snacks and a great addition to many
recipes such as salads and entrees. Hardboil a dozen eggs at the beginning of the week and keep them in the refrigerator for when you need them.
