Description
Avocado Deviled Eggs are a delicious, healthier spin on the traditional version, swapping out mayo for creamy avocado. They’re perfect for parties, picnics, or a protein-packed snack—bright, tangy, and irresistibly smooth.
Ingredients
For the eggs:
-
6 large eggs
-
1 ripe avocado
-
1 tsp lime or lemon juice
-
1 tsp Dijon mustard
-
1 garlic clove, minced (optional)
-
Salt and pepper to taste
-
1 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro or parsley (optional)
-
Paprika or chili powder for garnish
Instructions
1️⃣ Boil the eggs: Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then turn off the heat and cover. Let sit for 10–12 minutes. Drain, cool in ice water, then peel.
2️⃣ Prepare the filling: Slice eggs in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and place them in a bowl. Add the avocado, lime/lemon juice, mustard, and minced garlic (if using). Mash until smooth.
3️⃣ Season: Add salt and pepper to taste. Stir in chopped herbs if desired.
4️⃣ Fill the eggs: Spoon or pipe the avocado mixture into the egg white halves.
5️⃣ Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with paprika or chili powder. Serve immediately or chill briefly before serving.
Notes
-
Best served fresh due to the avocado’s tendency to brown—add extra citrus to slow oxidation.
-
For extra flair, top with crispy bacon bits or pickled onions.
