Avocado Deviled Eggs are a delicious twist on a classic appetizer, combining the rich creaminess of avocado with the savory goodness of hard-boiled eggs. This healthy deviled eggs recipe is not only easy to prepare but also makes for a perfect party snack or a delightful addition to your brunch table.
Ingredients
Scale:
6 large eggs
1 ripe avocado (mashed)
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon lime juice
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh cilantro or parsley (for garnishing)
Red pepper flakes or paprika (optional)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, place the eggs and cover them with water, ensuring there are about an inch of water above the eggs. Bring the water to a gentle boil over medium heat, watching for small bubbles to form. Once boiling, cover the pot with a lid, remove it from heat, and let the eggs sit for 12-14 minutes.
After the time is up, carefully transfer the eggs using a slotted spoon to a bowl of ice water to cool for at least 5 minutes.
Once cooled, gently tap each egg on the counter to crack the shell, then peel under running water.
Slice each egg in half lengthwise and carefully remove the yolks into a mixing bowl. In the bowl, combine the egg yolks, mashed avocado, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mash and mix until smooth and creamy.
Using a spoon or a piping bag fitted with a star tip, fill each egg white half with the creamy avocado filling.
Sprinkle the filled eggs with chopped fresh herbs and, if desired, a pinch of red pepper flakes or paprika.
