It is only appropriate during this time of year to create a recipe that is healthy to eat yet festive! I hope you enjoy it! It’s mayonnaise free and very tasty 🙂

ingredients:

gluten-free, non-gmo, sugar free

Serves 3-4 // Pre time: 25 min // Cook time: 15 min

for the eggs:

• 11 pasture raised organic eggs
• 1 egg yoke for the filling
• 1 cup avocado oil
• 1/2 lemon juice – squeezed from a fresh lemon
• 6 strips of uncured bacon
• smoked paprika
• salt
• pepper

directions:

for the hard boiled eggs:

1. Over high heat, bring a large pot of water to boil.
2. Carefully place the 11 eggs in the pot. Let cook for 15 minutes, then turn heat off and let cool.
3. While the eggs are cooling prepare the filling (below), and cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the bacon until crispy. Place on a plate with paper towels. Once cool, chop the bacon into little bacon bits. Set aside to add into the filling.
4. Once eggs are cool (about 10 minutes), rincse the eggs off with cold water. This should enable the shells to cleanly peel off.
5. Run peeled eggs under cold water to sift off remaining shell bits.
6. Cut the hard boiled eggs in half long-ways.

for the filling:

1. In a blender, mix the raw egg yolk, avocado oil, and lemon juice. Blend on very low.
2. Add the hard boiled yoke to the blender and blend on low.
3. Add the bacon and seasonings.
4. Scoop filling back into each egg half.
