Description
These Avocado Deviled Eggs are a refreshing and nutritious twist on a classic appetizer. By swapping traditional mayonnaise for creamy ripe avocado, you get a vibrant, zesty filling that’s heart-healthy and keto-friendly perfect for spring brunches or holiday platters.
Ingredients
The Base
- 6 hard-boiled eggs, halved lengthwise
- 1 large ripe avocado, peeled and pitted
The Zesty Seasoning
- 1 lime, juiced
- 2 tablespoons red onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
Prep: Scoop yolks into a bowl and set egg whites on a platter.
Combine: Add avocado, lime juice, red onion, cilantro, and garlic powder to the yolks.
Mash: Use a fork to mash until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper.
Fill: Scoop or pipe the mixture back into the egg white centers.
Garnish: Top with extra red onion and cilantro. Serve immediately.
Notes
Preventing Oxidation: Serve immediately to avoid browning. Lime juice helps, but fresh is best for color.
Perfect Hard-Boiled Eggs: Boil for 10–12 minutes and immediately plunge into an ice bath to prevent the gray sulfur ring.
Clean Cuts: Wipe your knife with a damp towel between cuts for professional-looking egg whites.
