Deviled Avocado Eggs
Deviled Avocado Eggs combine the creamy texture of ripe avocado with traditional hard-boiled eggs, enhanced by lime juice, cilantro, and a touch of garlic powder. The filling is smooth and rich, naturally colored and flavored by the avocado, while paprika adds optional color and mild smoky aroma. This variation offers a fresh take on deviled eggs, ideal for snacks or appetizers with a nuanced taste and satisfying texture.
Ingredients
- 3 egg cut in half, hard boiled
- 1 avocado large
- 2 teaspoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon cilantro
- Pinch garlic powder salt and pepper
- paprika optional, for sprinkling
Instructions
- Remove the shells from the hard-boiled eggs.
- Slice the peeled eggs lengthwise and carefully remove the cooked yolks, placing the yolks in a mixing bowl.
- Add the avocado to the bowl and mash with a fork until it's a smooth consistency.
- Then add the remaining ingredients and mash stir togther until blended

Notes
- Store leftover deviled avocado eggs in an airtight container refrigerated for up to three days.
- Prepare and peel hard-boiled eggs a day ahead, but mix the avocado filling shortly before serving to prevent browning.
- Lime juice helps maintain the filling’s green color but does not fully prevent oxidation over several hours.
