Instructions

1. Add eggs to saucepan in even layer. Cover with water and place pan on stovetop over high heat. Bring water to a boil then boil for 9 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, prepare an ice bath by filling a bowl with ice cubes and then covering with water.
3. Additionally, while eggs boil, cook bacon on stovetop until crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to de-grease, break in half, and set aside.
4. Once time has lapsed for boiling eggs, immediately carefully transfer eggs from boiling water to ice bath. Allow eggs to sit in ice bath for several minutes.
5. Meanwhile, mash avocado in a bowl. Add lime juice, pepper, and salt. Set aside.
6. Remove eggs from ice bath and peel and dispose of shells. Slice each egg in half lengthwise.
7. Lay 6 of the sliced eggs on a plate, top with piece of sliced cheddar, dollop of mashed avocado, halved slice of crisped bacon, then top with other side of egg. Secure each with a toothpick. Repeat until you’ve yielded 6 egg sliders.
8. Garnish each egg slider with paprika, freshly-cracked pepper, and salt.
