Looking for a fresh twist on a classic appetizer? These Avocado and Sriracha Deviled Eggs are creamy, spicy, and absolutely delicious. Perfect for parties, picnics, or just an afternoon snack, they're a surefire crowd-pleaser!
Eggs are the foundation of this dish, providing a rich, creamy texture. Choose large, fresh eggs for the best results. Avocado replaces some of the traditional mayonnaise, adding a creamy texture and healthy fats. The mayonnaise helps bind the filling together, making it smooth and luxurious. Sriracha brings heat and a hint of sweetness, creating a balanced flavor profile. A dash of lime juice brightens everything up, providing a fresh contrast to the richness. Salt and black pepper are essential for seasoning, enhancing all the flavors. Finally, chopped cilantro adds a touch of freshness and color, while a sprinkle of paprika makes for a beautiful garnish.
These deviled eggs are perfect for a casual get-together or a fancy brunch. Pair them with a crisp, light salad or serve them alongside a platter of fresh vegetables and dips. They also make a great addition to a charcuterie board, adding a pop of color and flavor.
Start by placing your eggs in a single layer in a saucepan, then cover them with water. Bring the water to a rolling boil, then cover the pan and remove it from the heat. Let the eggs sit for 12 minutes — this method ensures perfectly cooked yolks without any green rings.
Once the eggs are done, transfer them to an ice bath. This will cool them quickly and make peeling a breeze. When they're cool enough to handle, peel the eggs gently.
Slice each egg in half lengthwise. Carefully remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl. Set the whites aside for now.
Add the avocado, mayonnaise, Sriracha, lime juice, salt, and pepper to the mixing bowl with the yolks. Mash everything together until you have a smooth, creamy mixture. Taste and adjust the seasoning or heat level if necessary.
Spoon or pipe the filling back into the egg whites. This can get a little messy, but it doesn't have to be perfect. As long as it tastes good, you're golden!
Finish by garnishing each egg with chopped cilantro and a sprinkle of paprika. It's the finishing touch that makes them look as good as they taste.
