Whole Foods Market Bacon Bash Challenge: Cobb Deviled Eggs

When I am in the mood for a salad, I always order a cobb salad. I love all of the flavors and textures together from the creamy avocado, the sweet tomatoes, pungent and tangy bleu cheese, and smoky, salty bacon. A favorite comfort food of mine is deviled eggs. One of my earliest food memories was a deviled egg and have loved them ever since. If I see them on a menu, I almost always order them. My hubby’s grandma used to make really good ones for Easter and just couldn’t help myself. I might have to start a Deviled Eggs Anonymous group. LOL! As part of the Whole Foods Market’s Bacon Bash Challenge, I came up with this recipe combining my love for cobb salad and deviled eggs.
