Ingredients for Avocado Deviled Eggs

Eggs are the foundation here, providing protein and a satisfying base. The key is boiling them just right for a firm yet creamy yolk. The avocado adds creaminess and healthy fats, giving a rich texture and vibrant color. Mayonnaise enhances the smoothness, tying the yolk and avocado together. A dash of lime juice brightens the flavors and keeps the avocado from browning too quickly. Garlic powder introduces a subtle, savory depth, while salt balances everything out. A sprinkle of paprika adds a touch of smokiness, and chopped cilantro offers freshness and a hint of herbal zest.

Tips & Tricks

  • For perfectly peeled eggs, use older eggs and the ice bath method.
  • Ensure the avocado is ripe for a smoother mixture.
  • A squeeze of lime juice keeps the avocado from browning, so don’t skip it!
  • If short on time, buy pre-boiled eggs from the store.

Serving Suggestions

These avocado deviled eggs pair beautifully with a fresh salad or as part of a brunch spread with smoked salmon and bagels. For an elegant appetizer, serve them alongside a chilled glass of white wine or sparkling water with lime.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these in advance?
Yes, prepare them a few hours ahead and refrigerate. Add cilantro just before serving for the freshest taste.
How do I store leftovers?
Keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. The avocado might brown slightly but will still taste great.
Can I skip the mayonnaise?
You can substitute it with Greek yogurt for a lighter version, but it will alter the flavor slightly.

Avocado Deviled Eggs Recipe Walkthrough

Start by placing the eggs in a pot and covering them with water. Bring the water to a boil. Once boiling, let the eggs cook for about 10 minutes. This timing ensures the yolks are fully cooked but still creamy. As they cook, prepare an ice bath in a bowl. Once the eggs are done, move them to the ice bath. This stops the cooking process and makes them easier to peel.

Once cooled, peel the eggs carefully and slice them in half lengthwise. Gently pop the yolks into a mixing bowl. Set the whites aside on a serving platter. To the yolks, add the ripe avocado, mayonnaise, lime juice, and garlic powder. Use a fork or a whisk to blend everything until smooth and creamy. Taste your mixture and add salt as needed.

Now, either spoon or pipe the avocado yolk mixture back into the egg white halves. For piping, a plastic bag with a snipped corner works wonders if you don’t have a piping bag. Finally, sprinkle each egg with paprika and some fresh chopped cilantro for that pop of color and flavor. And there you have it—avocado deviled eggs ready to enjoy!
