Method

  1. Begin by placing the smoked bacon in a large skillet and cooking it over medium-high heat. Turn the bacon occasionally to ensure it browns evenly, which should take approximately 5 minutes. Once cooked, remove the bacon from the skillet and drain it on paper towels.

  2. In a large bowl, use a fork to mash the avocado. Then, add the cooked bacon, yolks from the hard-boiled eggs, mayonnaise, mustard, and lime juice to the avocado. Mix all these ingredients together thoroughly.

  3. Take the mixture and carefully spoon it into the hollowed-out egg whites.

  4. To add a touch of spice and flavor, garnish the eggs with red pepper flakes.

  5. Place the filled eggs in the refrigerator to chill until you are ready to serve them.
