Print Recipe

A fresh twist on classic deviled eggs using creamy avocado instead of mayo for a lighter, healthier snack that’s quick and easy to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
  • 1 medium ripe avocado, peeled and pitted
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (for garnish)
  • Optional fresh herbs (chives or parsley, finely chopped) for garnish

Instructions

  1. Place 6 large eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by about 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat (about 8-10 minutes). Once boiling, cover the pan, turn off the heat, and let the eggs sit for 10 minutes.
  2. Transfer the eggs immediately to a bowl of ice water to cool for 5 minutes. Gently tap each egg on the counter and peel off the shell under running water.
  3. Slice each egg in half lengthwise. Carefully remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl.
  4. Add the ripe avocado, fresh lime juice, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the yolks.
  5. Mash the yolks and avocado together with a fork or masher until creamy but still slightly textured. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  6. Spoon or pipe the avocado filling back into the egg white halves.
  7. Lightly sprinkle smoked paprika over the filled eggs and garnish with chopped fresh herbs if desired.
  8. Serve immediately or chill for 30 minutes to let flavors meld.

Notes

Use ripe but firm Hass avocado for best creamy texture. Fresh lime juice prevents browning of avocado filling. If filling is too thick, add a teaspoon of water or olive oil to loosen. Store covered in fridge up to 2 days; add garnishes fresh before serving. For easier peeling, cool eggs in ice water immediately after boiling.
