Description

These deviled eggs with avocado deliver a creamy, fresh twist on the classic appetizer. Avocado replaces most of the mayo and gives the filling a rich texture with bright flavor.


Ingredients

6 large eggs

1 ripe avocado

1 tablespoon mayonnaise

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon lime juice

1 tablespoon finely chopped chives

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Paprika, for garnish


Instructions

1. Place the eggs in a saucepan, cover them with water, and bring the water to a boil.

2. Turn off the heat, cover the pan, and let the eggs sit for 10 to 12 minutes.

3. Transfer the eggs to ice water and cool them completely.

4. Peel the eggs, slice them in half lengthwise, and remove the yolks.

5. Add the yolks, avocado, mayonnaise, mustard, lime juice, chives, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to a bowl.

6. Mash the mixture until smooth and creamy.

7. Spoon or pipe the filling into the egg white halves.

8. Sprinkle paprika over the tops and chill until ready to serve.


Notes

Use a ripe avocado for the smoothest filling.

Serve the eggs the same day for the best color and texture.

Add extra lime juice if you want a brighter flavor.
