A creamy, flavorful deviled eggs recipe that swaps mayonnaise for ripe avocado, creating a lighter and fresher twist perfect for spring picnics and gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, hard-boiled, peeled, and halved
  • 1 ripe avocado (about 150 grams), mashed smooth
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Smoked paprika, for garnish (optional)
  • Chopped fresh chives or parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Place 6 large eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by about an inch (2.5 cm). Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  2. Once boiling, cover the pot, turn off the heat, and let the eggs sit for 10-12 minutes to avoid rubbery whites and chalky yolks.
  3. Drain the hot water and transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water. Let them cool for at least 5 minutes.
  4. Gently tap each egg all over and peel off the shell; rinse if needed to remove any tiny shell pieces.
  5. Slice each egg in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out the yolks into a mixing bowl.
  6. Add the mashed avocado, fresh lemon juice, garlic powder, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper to the yolks.
  7. Mash the yolk and avocado mixture with a fork or small whisk until creamy and well combined. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
  8. Spoon or pipe the avocado mixture back into the egg white halves.
  9. Sprinkle smoked paprika and chopped fresh chives or parsley over the filled eggs.
  10. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving chilled.

Notes

Use eggs that are a few days old for easier peeling. If avocado is too ripe and watery, drain excess liquid before mashing to avoid runny filling. Chill the filling before piping to maintain shape. Prepare eggs a day ahead but fill just before serving to prevent browning.
