Avocado Deviled Eggs are a delicious and healthy twist on the classic recipe, using creamy avocado for added flavor and nutrition.
Avocado deviled eggs bring a creamy and flavorful twist to the traditional deviled egg recipe, making them the perfect addition to any brunch, picnic, or holiday gathering. With their smooth, rich avocado filling and classic seasonings, these deviled eggs are sure to become a crowd favorite. Not only do they offer a new take on an old classic, but they also add a vibrant green color that makes them stand out on any platter.
The base is simple: hard-boiled eggs that are carefully peeled and halved. The yolks are scooped out and mixed with creamy, ripe avocado, which gives the filling a smooth, luscious texture. A dash of lime or lemon juice adds a bright, citrusy note that complements the richness of the avocado, while Dijon mustard and a touch of garlic bring extra depth and flavor. Seasoned with salt and pepper, this filling is both creamy and savory with a hint of tang.
For a more customized taste, you can add other ingredients like chopped cilantro, green onions, or a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little kick. Once the filling is prepared, it’s spooned or piped back into the egg whites, creating a neat and elegant presentation. You can garnish your avocado deviled eggs with extra cilantro, a sprinkle of paprika, or even some crumbled bacon for added flavor and texture.
These eggs are not only delicious but also offer a healthier alternative to traditional deviled eggs, thanks to the nutritious avocado. They’re perfect for any occasion, from casual gatherings to special holiday meals like Easter. The creamy avocado filling makes each bite indulgent yet light, offering a fresh and vibrant twist on a beloved appetizer.

I don’t have paprika, can I use cayenne pepper instead? 🤔
Eggs r good, avocatos r good, but together? Not my fav combo. Rating based on taste, not ease. 2 stars.
Avocados are so overrated. I’d rather just eat the eggs plain.
I totally get that! Avocados aren’t for everyone, but maybe you’ll be surprised how good they taste in this recipe with the eggs!
What are you talkin’ about? Avocados are the best! You should give these a try before judging them!
Okay, but the idea is silly. Eggs and avocados don’t go together!!! Just make them plain!!!!
Came out alright but needs more salt. Maybe like half a teaspoon? Just my opinion.
Why ruin eggs with avocado? Stick to traditional deviled eggs, people!
These are a game changer! So creamy and delicious. I added a bit of garlic powder for an extra kick. 5 stars!
This recipe is too simple. Where’s the real flavor?
Sometimes simple is best! The avocado gives it a creamy flavor, plus it’s healthy. Love this recipe!
These were a hit at the party! So creamy and delicious!
I dunno about this. Eggs and avocado just seem weird together. Might try it tho.
I was skeptical too! But trust me, it’s delicious. The creaminess of avocado really complements the eggs. Give it a chance!
I don’t see what the hype is about. Just tastes like eggs with guacamole on them. Not for me.
Not bad, but I think regular deviled eggs are better. Just my opinion!
Best thing ever! I mean wow, avocados make everything better! 🌟
Absolutely! Avocados are like magic! 🎩✨ They just bring everything together!
I mean, I guess? But deviled eggs with avocado? Seems a bit strange to me… 🤔
YUM!!! Perfect for my picky little eater. Thanks for this recipe 💚
Deviled eggs with avocado? Sounds weird, not sure about that combo.
I’m glad your picky eater loved it! Avocado is such a great addition. 🥑
Wow, I love this recipe! The flavors are awesome. I added some diced tomatoes too.
Yummy!!! 🥑🥚 Got a party tonight and gonna make these for sure!
That sounds awesome! Hope you have a blast at the party! 🎉🥳
Not sure I trust avocado. What if they’re brown? Still good?
Avocado + eggs = heart attack waiting to happen! No thanks.
Eggs make me sick, but my wife loves these. She’s always bringing them home.
What? Eggs are the best! Tell your wife to make these for me! 😂
Maybe try making them without the egg? Just press the avocado into toast or something. 😅
Super simple and delish! Thanks for sharing ☺️
I dunno, something feels off. Avocado in eggs? Nah.
Yum! These are perfect for my brunch party. Can’t wait to show off my new recipe skills! Thanks!
Yaaas!!! Finally something healthy and tasty! I had some friends over and they were gone in minutes! Will make again!
I followed the recipe but they turned out mushy. Maybe avocados were too ripe? Idk… 🤷♂️
Sounds like your avocados were definitely too ripe! They can turn mushy real quick. Try using slightly firmer ones next time!
Mushy eggs? That’s weird… I never had that problem. Are you sure you followed the steps right?
Yum! Just the right mix of flavors. Gonna make again for sure!
Easy to make and very healthy! I made it for lunch, and it was quick!
Uh, is that really healthy? Avocado is high in fat, and so are eggs. Not sure about this one.
Sounds delicious! I love how simple and healthy it is. Can’t wait to try it myself.
I was super skeptical about using avocado. I mean, eggs are eggy for a reason, right? But these weren’t too bad.
I made this recipe and it was super easy! My kids even loved it, which is a miracle.
That sounds great! I’ve been looking for kid-friendly recipes. I’ll try this one for sure!
I dunno, kids can be picky. Shouldn’t real deviled eggs have mayonnaise? Just saying!
These were delish! I added a pinch of garlic powder and it elevated them even more!
Kinda bland. I expected more kick from it. Anyone tried adding spices?
Deviled eggs are supposed to be way different! This ain’t it. Nah.
This is SO good! Never thought of putting avocado in deviled eggs. Totally my new fave!
I’m glad you liked it! Avocado makes everything better! 🥑😋
