To make avocado deviled eggs, you need a few key items. Here’s the list: - 6 large eggs - 1 ripe avocado - 1 tablespoon Greek yogurt - 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard - 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lime juice - Salt, to taste - Freshly ground black pepper, to taste These ingredients create a rich and creamy filling that is both tasty and filling. If you want to add a twist to your avocado deviled eggs, consider these extras: - 1 small jalapeño, finely diced (for heat) - Fresh cilantro leaves (for garnish) These optional ingredients can make your dish more exciting. The jalapeño gives a spicy kick, while cilantro adds freshness. Choosing the right avocado is key. Look for these signs: - The skin should be dark green or almost black. - It should feel slightly soft when you press it gently. - Avoid avocados with large dark spots or deep indentations. A ripe avocado will blend smoothly into your filling, making it creamy and delicious. If you buy them hard, let them sit at room temperature for a few days to ripen. To start, take 6 large eggs and place them in a medium saucepan. Fill the pan with cold water until it covers the eggs by about an inch. Turn on the heat to medium-high and wait for the water to boil. When it reaches a rolling boil, cover the pan with a lid. Then, remove the pan from the heat and let it sit for 12 minutes. This method helps make eggs easy to peel later. Once the eggs are cooked, drain the hot water. Transfer the eggs to an ice bath. The cold water cools them quickly for about 5 minutes. After they cool, gently crack the shells and peel them under running water. This makes peeling easier. Slice the eggs in half lengthwise and scoop the yolks into a bowl. Add 1 ripe avocado, 1 tablespoon of Greek yogurt, 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard, and 1 teaspoon of freshly squeezed lime juice. Sprinkle in some salt and pepper to taste. Use a fork or masher to blend everything until smooth. If you want some heat, mix in a finely diced jalapeño. Now that your filling is ready, it’s time to fill the egg whites. Use a spoon or a piping bag to fill each egg half with the creamy avocado-yolk mixture. Be generous with the filling! For the final touch, garnish each egg with fresh cilantro leaves. This not only adds color but also a fresh taste to your tasty deviled eggs. Serve them on a colorful platter for an eye-catching display. When making avocado deviled eggs, avoid overcooking the eggs. Overcooked eggs become rubbery and dry. Always use a timer for precise cooking. Another mistake is using unripe avocados. They won’t blend well and lack flavor. Make sure your avocado is soft but not brown. Lastly, don’t skip the seasoning. A pinch of salt and pepper enhances the taste. For the creamiest filling, mash the avocado and yolks well. Use a fork or potato masher until smooth. Adding Greek yogurt helps create a rich texture. The yogurt adds creaminess without being too heavy. Mixing in Dijon mustard and lime juice gives your filling a nice zing. Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Presentation is key for making your deviled eggs pop. Use a colorful platter to display your eggs. Arrange them in a circle for visual appeal. For an extra touch, drizzle a bit of olive oil on top. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves for color and flavor. You can also sprinkle some paprika for a vibrant finish. {{image_4}} For a kick, add jalapeño to your deviled eggs. Use one small jalapeño, finely diced. Mix it in with the avocado, yogurt, mustard, and lime juice. This spice enhances the flavor, making each bite exciting. Adjust the amount based on your heat level preference. If you want more heat, leave some seeds in the jalapeño. For a Mediterranean twist, swap Greek yogurt for feta cheese. Crumble 1/4 cup of feta into the yolk mixture. Add chopped kalamata olives and a sprinkle of oregano. These flavors bring a taste of the Mediterranean right to your kitchen. Top with a slice of olive or a sprinkle of paprika for color. To make a vegan version, omit the Greek yogurt and mustard. Use silken tofu for a creamy base. Blend the tofu with avocado, lime juice, and salt. This keeps the dish creamy and rich without eggs. Garnish with smoked paprika or fresh herbs for extra appeal. Store leftover avocado deviled eggs in an airtight container. Keep the eggs in the fridge. They taste best within two days. If you have leftover filling, store it in a separate container. This keeps the egg whites fresh. For meal prep, make the filling ahead of time. Store it in the fridge for up to two days. You can also boil the eggs in advance. Just peel and store them in water. Change the water daily to keep them fresh. Always refrigerate deviled eggs promptly. Avoid leaving them out for more than two hours. If you are serving at a party, keep them on ice. This keeps them cool and safe to eat. Use a shallow container for even cooling. Yes, you can make Avocado Deviled Eggs a few hours ahead. Prepare the filling and store it in the fridge. Keep the egg whites separate until you are ready to serve. This keeps them fresh and avoids sogginess. If you don’t have Greek yogurt, try sour cream. You can also use mashed silken tofu for a vegan twist. Both options add creaminess without changing the flavor much. To keep the avocado green, use lime juice. The acid in lime slows browning. Cover the filling tightly with plastic wrap too. Press the wrap directly onto the filling before refrigerating. This reduces air exposure and keeps it fresh longer.

Ingredients
  

6 large eggs

1 ripe avocado

1 tablespoon Greek yogurt

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lime juice

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1 small jalapeño, finely diced (optional for an extra kick)

Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish

Instructions
 

Begin by placing the eggs in a medium-sized saucepan. Fill the pan with enough cold water to cover the eggs by about an inch. Bring the water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the saucepan with a lid, remove it from heat, and let it sit undisturbed for 12 minutes.

    After the 12 minutes have passed, carefully drain the hot water from the pan. Immediately transfer the eggs into an ice bath (a bowl filled with cold water and ice cubes) to cool the eggs rapidly for approximately 5 minutes.

      Once the eggs are chilled, gently crack the shells and peel them under a gently running stream of water. This helps to loosen the shells, making them easier to remove.

        Once peeled, slice the eggs in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop the egg yolks into a mixing bowl, setting the egg white halves aside on a serving plate.

          In the bowl containing the yolks, add the ripe avocado, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lime juice, and a generous pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper. Use a fork or potato masher to blend the mixture until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency. If you prefer a bit of spice, incorporate the finely diced jalapeño at this stage, mixing well.

            Once the filling is ready, use a spoon or a piping bag fitted with a decorative tip to fill each hollowed-out egg white half generously with the avocado-yolk mixture.

              Finish by garnishing the prepared deviled eggs with fresh cilantro leaves. This adds not only a pop of vibrant color but also a fragrant touch to the dish.
