This avocado deviled eggs recipe uses simple, wholesome ingredients that you can find at your local grocery store or farmers market.

The secret to amazing avocado deviled eggs is using a perfectly ripe avocado rather than an underripe or overripe one. You’ll find the best ingredients for this avocado deviled eggs at farmers markets or well-stocked grocery stores with a good produce section.

If you want to splurge on one ingredient, make it the eggs. High-quality eggs make every bite of these healthy deviled eggs taste extra comforting and fresh.

For customization, try using Greek yogurt in place of mayonnaise for a lighter take, or add chopped herbs like chives or cilantro to brighten the avocado filling. If you prefer spice, a dash of hot sauce mixed in creates a delightful kick.

Leftover deviled egg whites can be stored covered in the fridge for up to 2 days while the avocado filling is best made fresh. However, you can prepare the filling a few hours ahead and refrigerate in an airtight container to save time.

1. Begin by hard boiling your eggs. Place them in a pot and cover with cold water by one inch. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, turn off the heat, cover the pot, and let rest for 12 minutes. This method yields perfectly cooked eggs every time.

2. After 12 minutes, drain the hot water and transfer eggs to an ice bath. This stops cooking and makes peeling easier — a crucial step for beautiful avocado deviled eggs.

3. Once cooled, gently peel the eggs and slice them in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks carefully, placing them in a medium bowl.

4. Add the ripe avocado to the yolks, along with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mash everything together with a fork or a small whisk until smooth and creamy. This avocado filling is where your avocado deviled eggs truly come alive.

5. Taste your filling and adjust seasoning as needed. Don’t hesitate to add a bit more salt or lemon juice to get the perfect balance.

6. Spoon or pipe the avocado filling back into the egg whites. Using a piping bag or plastic bag with a corner cut off gives a neat presentation but a small spoon works great too.

7. Sprinkle each stuffed egg with smoked paprika or chili powder for that pretty finish and gentle flavor.

8. Place your avocado deviled eggs on a serving platter and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. This helps the flavors meld beautifully.

Don’t worry — your avocado deviled eggs will turn out beautifully with this step-by-step method. Here’s a helpful tip for avocado deviled eggs success: use an avocado that yields slightly when gently pressed. Too firm and it won’t mash well, too soft and it might get mushy.

In my kitchen, this avocado deviled eggs recipe takes about 25 minutes from start to finish, including chilling time. The aroma of fresh lemon and paprika always signals a comforting plate is ready to share.

While your avocado deviled eggs are resting in the fridge, take a moment to enjoy that amazing creamy texture and bright color coming together. This is where your avocado deviled eggs transform into something truly special.
