Print Recipe

A creamy, mayo-free twist on classic deviled eggs using ripe avocado for a fresh, healthy snack or appetizer that’s quick and easy to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
  • 1 medium ripe avocado, mashed until smooth
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Smoked paprika, for garnish
  • Fresh chives, finely chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place 6 large eggs in a single layer in a medium saucepan. Cover with cold water about an inch above the eggs. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the pan, remove it from heat, and let sit for 10-12 minutes.
  2. Drain hot water and immediately place eggs into a bowl of ice water or run under cold water to stop cooking. Let cool for at least 5 minutes before peeling. Gently tap eggs on a hard surface, then peel under running water to remove shells easily.
  3. Slice eggs in half lengthwise, carefully remove yolks, and place them in a mixing bowl. Add the ripe avocado, fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mash everything together with a fork or potato masher until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  4. Using a spoon or piping bag, evenly distribute the avocado mixture into each egg white half. For a neat look, pipe the filling in a swirl pattern.
  5. Lightly dust the tops with smoked paprika and sprinkle finely chopped fresh chives over the top. Serve immediately or chill for up to 2 hours before serving.

Notes

If the avocado filling is too thick, add a splash of water or more lemon juice to loosen it for easier piping. Peel eggs under cold running water to remove shells easily. Prepare filling and eggs separately and assemble just before serving to prevent sogginess. Use Hass avocados for best creamy texture. Optional: add cayenne pepper or hot sauce for spice, or swap chives for other fresh herbs.
