A Healthier Take on a Classic

Deviled eggs have long been a favorite party appetizer, but they often come with a hefty dose of mayonnaise and fat. By incorporating avocado into the mix, this recipe not only enhances the flavor but also ups the nutritional value. Avocados are rich in healthy fats, fiber, and various vitamins, making this dish a guilt-free option for any gathering.

The creamy texture of avocado mimics that of traditional mayonnaise, providing a luscious mouthfeel without the extra calories. Plus, the addition of lime juice brightens the flavor profile, making these Avocado Deviled Eggs a refreshing twist that will impress your guests.

Perfect for Any Occasion

Whether you're hosting a brunch, attending a potluck, or simply looking for a nutritious snack, these Avocado Deviled Eggs fit the bill. They can be made ahead of time, allowing for easy preparation and stress-free entertaining. Just whip up the filling, fill the egg whites, and store them in the fridge until you’re ready to serve.

These deviled eggs are also versatile. You can customize them with various toppings such as chopped herbs, crumbled bacon, or even a dash of hot sauce for those who like a bit of heat. This adaptability makes them a favorite for gatherings of all kinds.

Tips for the Perfect Deviled Eggs

To ensure your deviled eggs turn out perfectly every time, start with fresh eggs. Older eggs tend to be easier to peel after boiling. For the best results, consider using eggs that are between 7 to 10 days old. Additionally, using an ice bath after boiling can help cool the eggs quickly and make peeling easier.

When mashing the avocado and yolk mixture, use a fork or a potato masher for a smoother consistency. If you prefer a chunkier texture, feel free to leave some small pieces of avocado intact. Just remember to taste and adjust the seasoning to your liking before filling the eggs.

Ingredients

6 large eggs
1 ripe avocado
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Salt and pepper to taste
Paprika for garnish

Gather all ingredients before you start cooking.

Instructions

Boil the Eggs

Place the eggs in a pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, cover the pot and remove it from heat. Let sit for 10 minutes.

Prepare the Filling

After the eggs have cooled, peel them and cut in half. Remove yolks and place them in a bowl. Add avocado, lime juice, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.

Mash together until smooth.

Assemble the Deviled Eggs

Fill each egg white half with the avocado mixture. Sprinkle paprika on top for garnish.

Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Storage Tips

If you have leftovers, store the assembled Avocado Deviled Eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They are best eaten within 24 hours to enjoy their creamy texture and fresh flavor. However, if you plan to make them ahead of time, consider storing the egg whites and filling separately to prevent the filling from browning.

For longer storage, you can keep the avocado filling in an airtight container, adding a little extra lime juice on top before sealing to minimize oxidation. This way, you can quickly assemble your deviled eggs when you're ready to serve them.

Why Avocado?

Avocado is not just a trendy food; it’s a powerhouse of nutrition. Packed with heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, avocados help reduce bad cholesterol levels while boosting good cholesterol. They also provide essential nutrients like potassium, which supports overall heart health.

Furthermore, avocados are a great source of antioxidants, promoting skin health and even aiding in weight management. By incorporating them into your recipes, you’re not only enhancing flavor but also adding a wealth of health benefits to your diet.
