Avocado Deviled Eggs: A Creamy, Zesty Twist on a Classic
Classic deviled eggs with mashed avocado, lime, and a hint of chili powder.
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 ripe avocado
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: Cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat and let sit for 10-12 minutes. Cool under cold running water, then peel.
- Halve the eggs and remove the yolks. In a bowl, mash the yolks with avocado, mayonnaise, lime juice, chili powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Fill each egg white half with the avocado mixture.
- Garnish with cilantro, if desired.
Notes
- Use very ripe avocados for the smoothest filling.
- Add a bit more lime juice if the mixture feels too thick.
- You can boil eggs a day ahead and refrigerate them.
- Double the recipe for larger gatherings.
- Use a food processor for an ultra-smooth filling.
- If storing overnight, cover tightly to prevent browning.
