Description
A zesty and creamy twist on the classic deviled eggs, these Guacamole Deviled Eggs combine hard-boiled eggs with ripe avocado, lime, and cilantro for a flavorful, nutritious appetizer or snack.
Ingredients
6 large eggs
1 ripe avocado
1 tbsp fresh lime juice
1 tsp minced red onion
1 tsp minced jalapeño (optional)
1 tbsp chopped cilantro
Salt and pepper to taste
Paprika or chili powder, for garnish
Optional toppings: diced tomato, extra cilantro
Instructions
- Place the eggs in a pot and cover them with water. Bring to a boil, then cover the pot, turn off the heat, and let sit for 10–12 minutes.
- Drain the eggs and cool them in an ice bath or under cold running water. Peel and slice each egg in half lengthwise.
- Gently remove the yolks and mash them in a bowl with the avocado, lime juice, red onion, jalapeño (if using), and chopped cilantro until smooth.
- Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
- Spoon or pipe the guacamole mixture back into the egg white halves.
- Sprinkle with paprika or chili powder and top with optional garnishes like diced tomato or extra cilantro.
- Chill until ready to serve.
Notes
Use fresh lime juice to help prevent the avocado from browning.
Store leftovers with plastic wrap pressed against the filling to keep it fresh.
Customize with toppings like bacon, feta, or even diced mango for a unique twist.
These are best served chilled or at room temperature—do not reheat.
