How to Make Avocado Deviled Eggs

STEP 1 – Boil the eggs. Place eggs in a pot of boiling water and cook for 8-10 minutes until hard-boiled. Transfer to an ice bath to cool.

STEP 2 – Prepare the filling. Peel and mash the avocado in a bowl. Shell and halve the eggs, scoop out the yolks, and add them to the avocado.

STEP 3 – Mix in sour cream, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Blend the avocado-egg mixture until smooth and creamy. There may be a few lumps remaining.

STEP 4 – Assemble the eggs. Rinse and dry the egg whites. Pipe the avocado mixture back into the egg whites using a piping bag.

STEP 5 – Garnish and serve. Sprinkle each deviled egg with paprika and parsley before serving.

Tips for Making the Best Avocado Deviled Eggs

• Salt to boiling water: Adding a little salt to the water before boiling eggs can help the water boil faster and seal cracks in the eggshells.
• Shelling eggs: Adding the boiled eggs straight from boiling water to an ice bath helps with shelling, so don’t skip the ice bath. Once cooled, tap the shell on a hard surface and they will easily peel.
• Fresh Ingredients: Use a ripe but firm avocado for the best texture and flavor.
• Smooth Filling: Ensure the avocado and yolk mixture is well combined for a smooth filling.
• Chill Before Serving: Refrigerate the deviled eggs for at least an hour before serving to enhance the flavors.

Avocado Deviled Eggs Recipe Variations

• Add Herbs: Mix in chopped chives or dill for an extra layer of flavor.
• Spice It Up: Include a dash of cayenne or a bit of diced jalapeño in the filling for a spicy twist.
