A fresh and creamy deviled egg recipe that replaces mayonnaise with avocado for a lighter, healthier snack that’s quick and easy to prepare.

Ingredients

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

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, then cover the pot and remove it from heat. Let the eggs sit for 12 minutes for firm yolks.
  2. Drain the hot water and fill the pot with cold water and ice cubes to chill the eggs quickly (about 5 minutes). Gently tap and peel the eggs under running water for smooth removal.
  3. Slice peeled eggs in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out the yolks with a small spoon into a mixing bowl.
  4. Add mashed avocado, fresh lemon juice, garlic powder, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to the yolks.
  5. Use a fork to mash everything together until creamy but still slightly chunky. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  6. Spoon the avocado-yolk mixture back into the egg white halves. For a neater look, transfer the filling to a piping bag and pipe it in swirl shapes.
  7. Sprinkle smoked paprika and chopped fresh chives or parsley on top for color and flavor.
  8. Refrigerate the deviled eggs for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld and the filling firm up slightly. Serve cold or at room temperature.

Notes

Use a firm, ripe avocado for best texture. Lemon juice prevents browning of avocado. If filling is too thick, add a splash of water or olive oil; if too soft, add more mashed yolk or avocado. Store leftovers in an airtight container with plastic wrap pressed onto the filling to prevent browning. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
