Creamy Avocado Deviled Eggs Recipe
It’s no secret that deviled eggs are a crowd-pleaser. Any time I bring them to a potluck, they seem to fly off the table! I always see people going back for seconds or thirds, and I don’t blame them! How can you resist when they’re bite-sized pieces of creamy goodness? I decided to test out making them with avocado for a boost of flavor and creaminess. It was the perfect addition to egg salad, so I thought, why not add it to deviled eggs? The result was mind-blowing. For all of my fellow avocado lovers out there, I’m here to present to you: the ultimate deviled eggs recipe.
If you love guacamole, you’re going to love these. It’s essentially the same thing since avocado is blended with egg yolks to make the filling. I like to season mine with lime and garlic so each bite is filled with a dollop of zesty, savory flavor. Avocado deviled eggs really are a game-changer. If you’ve found the flavor of traditional deviled eggs to be too ‘eggy’ for you, give these a try! They’re so fresh and creamy! Make them for your next get-together and I assure you, they’ll be a hit.
Everything You’ll Need to Make Them
Good news is, avocado deviled eggs use super simple ingredients. And did I mention- they’re gluten and dairy-free! No mayo here! The blended avocado adds all the creaminess you’ll need. These are also keto-friendly, making them a snack you can feel great about eating! Measurements for each of the ingredients can be found in the recipe card below.
- Hard Boiled Eggs: You can make these with an Instant Pot or buy them premade at the store for easier prep!
- Avocados: I used medium-sized avocados here. See tips on picking the best avocado below!
- Garlic Powder: Adds the perfect savory flavor!
- Lime Juice: I love adding lime juice for a pop of citrusy flavor. It also helps the avocado and egg yolks to blend together. You can add more to taste!
- Kosher Salt: Kosher salt isn’t iodized, so it doesn’t have a bitter aftertaste. It will add a better flavor to anything you cook!
- Pepper: Helps to enhance the overall dish.
- Paprika and Chopped Cilantro: (Optional, for garnish) A dusting of paprika and chopped cilantro not only looks amazing, but adds an extra pop of flavor, too!
