These Deviled Eggs with a Twist combine classic deviled eggs with creamy avocado for a fresh, flavorful appetizer. The creamy avocado replaces some of the traditional mayo, adding a healthy fat and a subtle lime tang that elevates this timeless snack.

Ingredients

Eggs and Filling

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Garnish

  • Paprika for garnish
  • Chopped chives or cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. Boil the eggs: Place the eggs in a pot and cover them with water. Bring the water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the pot, remove it from heat, and let the eggs sit for 12 minutes.
  2. Cool the eggs: Transfer the eggs to a bowl filled with ice water to cool completely, which stops the cooking process and makes them easier to peel.
  3. Peel and slice: Once cooled, peel the eggs carefully under running water if needed, and slice each egg in half lengthwise.
  4. Prepare the filling: Carefully remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl. Add the ripe avocado, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mash everything together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  5. Fill the eggs: Spoon or pipe the avocado-yolk mixture back into the egg white halves, filling the hollow where the yolk was removed.
  6. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle the deviled eggs with paprika and chopped chives or cilantro for color and flavor. Chill before serving for best results.

Notes

  • Use ripe avocado for a creamy texture and mild flavor.
  • Adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and lime juice to taste.
  • For a spicier touch, add a dash of hot sauce or cayenne pepper to the filling.
  • Deviled eggs can be made a day ahead and stored covered in the refrigerator.
  • For easier peeling, add a teaspoon of baking soda to the boiling water.
