    Avocado Deviled Eggs

    Avocado-deviled eggs are a trendy recipe that has a Latin kick to them.  The avocado replaces the mayonnaise from a classic deviled eggs recipe and adds in a few more flavors to help round it out.  The flavors are definitely different than a traditional recipe, so please notice that this will not taste the same.  Here are the ingredients for this recipe:

    • Hard-Boiled Eggs – Be sure to check out my perfect hard-boiled eggs recipe.
    • Avocado – This will replace the mayonnaise but still has plenty of fat in it to help flavor this.
    • Lemon Juice – This will add some acid as well as help the avocado from turning brown.
    • Cilantro – This will add some nice lime flavors as well as a garnish.
    • Onion – Finely minced onions will definitely take this to the next level.
    • Cumin – Just my secret touch when it comes to adding some complexity with mashed avocado.
    • Salt and Pepper – season to taste, I prefer sea salt and fresh cracked pepper.

    How to Make Avocado Deviled Eggs

    Use these simple step-by-step instructions for making avocado-deviled eggs.

    Slice the hard-boiled eggs in half longways and place yolks into a food processor and the whites on your serving dish, hole side up.

    chef notes + tips

    • Be sure your yolks are all the way cooked through.
    • You can also mash the egg yolks and avocado using a fork and then mixing in the ingredients if you do not have a food processor.
    • You may need to slice a small part of the bottom of the egg whites to help balance them and stop them from rocking back and forth.
