A healthier twist on classic deviled eggs using creamy avocado instead of mayo for a fresh, light, and satisfying snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
  • 1 medium ripe avocado (about 150 grams), mashed smooth
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • Fresh chives or parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Place 6 large eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by about an inch. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, turn off the heat, cover the pan, and let the eggs sit for 10-12 minutes.
  2. Drain the hot water and transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water or run them under cold water for a few minutes. Gently crack the shells and peel, keeping the eggs intact. Pat dry with paper towels.
  3. Slice each egg in half lengthwise. Carefully remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl.
  4. Add the mashed avocado, fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to the yolks.
  5. Using a fork, mash the egg yolks and avocado together until smooth but still slightly textured. Taste and adjust seasoning. Stir in smoked paprika if using.
  6. Spoon the avocado-yolk mixture back into the egg white halves. Garnish each with chopped fresh chives or parsley if desired.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld and the filling firm up slightly. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

If avocado is overly ripe and watery, drain excess liquid before mixing to avoid a too-soft filling. Peel eggs immediately after cooling to avoid tearing whites. For a fancier presentation, use a piping bag to fill egg whites. Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 2 days; press plastic wrap directly on filling to minimize browning. Do not freeze.
