Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large eggs (room temperature for easier peeling)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt (for boiling water)
  • For the Classic Smoky Filling:
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 roasted red pepper, finely chopped
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika, plus extra for garnish
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • For the Creamy Avocado-Lime Filling:
  • 1 ripe avocado, mashed
  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt (can substitute with dairy-free coconut yogurt)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
  • For the Tangy Dill-Mustard Filling:
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Place 12 large eggs in a single layer in a large pot. Add enough cold water to cover the eggs by about 1 inch. Add 1 teaspoon kosher salt to the water. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, then cover the pot, turn off the heat, and let eggs sit for 12 minutes.
  2. Transfer eggs immediately to a bowl of ice water. Let chill for at least 5 minutes. Carefully peel each egg under running water to remove shells more easily.
  3. Slice each egg in half lengthwise with a sharp knife. Gently remove the yolks and place them in separate mixing bowls according to the filling type you’re making (4 yolks per filling). Arrange egg white halves on a serving platter.
  4. Make the Classic Smoky Filling: Mash 4 egg yolks with ¼ cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 roasted red pepper (finely chopped), ½ teaspoon smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste. If mixture is too thick, add a teaspoon of water or more mayo for creaminess.
  5. Make the Creamy Avocado-Lime Filling: Mash 4 egg yolks with 1 ripe avocado, 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1 minced garlic clove, salt, and pepper. Stir in chopped cilantro if using.
  6. Make the Tangy Dill-Mustard Filling: Mash 4 egg yolks with ¼ cup sour cream, 1 tablespoon yellow mustard, 1 tablespoon fresh dill, 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper until fluffy and combined.
  7. Transfer each filling to a pastry bag or a plastic bag with the corner snipped off. Pipe the fillings neatly into the egg white halves. Garnish the classic with extra smoked paprika, the avocado with a cilantro leaf, and the dill-mustard with a small sprig of dill.
  8. Refrigerate the deviled eggs for at least 30 minutes before serving to let flavors meld and fillings set.

Notes

Use room-temperature eggs for easier peeling. Peeling under running water helps remove shells more easily. If filling mixture is too thick, add a teaspoon of water or more mayonnaise to loosen. Piping fillings gives a professional look and makes serving easier. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The avocado filling may brown slightly but can be stirred gently before serving.
