A Twist on a Classic

Deviled eggs have long been a beloved appetizer, known for their creamy texture and flavorful fillings. By incorporating avocado into the mix, you elevate this classic dish to new heights. The natural creaminess of ripe avocado perfectly complements the richness of the egg yolk, creating a filling that is not only delicious but also visually appealing. This modern take on deviled eggs will be a hit at any gathering, ensuring your guests will be reaching for seconds.

Moreover, avocado is not just a tasty addition; it brings a wealth of health benefits. Packed with healthy monounsaturated fats, vitamins, and minerals, these Avocado Deviled Eggs are a guilt-free indulgence. They make for a nutritious snack or appetizer that aligns perfectly with various dietary preferences, including keto and paleo lifestyles.

Perfect for Any Occasion

Whether you're hosting a brunch, attending a potluck, or celebrating a holiday, Avocado Deviled Eggs are the perfect addition to your menu. Their vibrant green color and enticing flavor make them an eye-catching centerpiece on any appetizer platter. Plus, they are easy to prepare in advance, allowing you to focus on enjoying your event rather than spending all your time in the kitchen.

These deviled eggs are also incredibly versatile. You can customize the filling with your favorite spices or herbs to suit your taste. Want a little kick? Add some diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce. Prefer a milder flavor? Stick to the classic ingredients. The possibilities are endless, making them an ideal dish for both adventurous eaters and those who appreciate traditional flavors.

Storage and Serving Tips

If you have any leftovers, storing them properly is key to maintaining their freshness. Avocado can brown quickly, so it's best to cover the deviled eggs tightly with plastic wrap or store them in an airtight container. They can be kept in the refrigerator for up to two days, but for the best taste and texture, enjoy them within the first 24 hours.

When it comes to serving, these Avocado Deviled Eggs shine at room temperature. However, chilling them for about 10 minutes before serving enhances their flavor and allows the filling to firm up slightly, making them easier to handle. Garnishing with a sprinkle of paprika and fresh cilantro not only adds flavor but also elevates their presentation, ensuring they look as good as they taste.

Ingredients

6 large eggs
1 ripe avocado
1 tablespoon lime juice
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Salt and pepper to taste
Paprika for garnish
Chopped cilantro for garnish (optional)

Gather all ingredients before starting the preparation.

Instructions

Boil the Eggs

Place eggs in a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then cover and remove from heat. Let sit for 10 minutes. Afterward, transfer eggs to an ice bath.

Prepare the Filling

Once eggs are cool, peel and cut them in half. Remove yolks and place them in a mixing bowl. Add avocado, lime juice, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth.

Assemble the Deviled Eggs

Spoon or pipe the avocado mixture back into the egg whites. Sprinkle with paprika and chopped cilantro if desired.

Serve
