Avocado Deviled Eggs

This content was last updated on September 30, 2020

This delicious twist on deviled eggs is so creamy and satisfying, you’d never know it was a healthier version of traditional deviled eggs. This appetizer is packed with protein and B-vitamins from the eggs, as well as heart-healthy fat and fiber from the avocados. The addition of traditional guacamole ingredients—such as lime, cilantro and tomato—added to the filling bring an extra punch of flavor. Serving the guacamole-esq filling in egg halves helps provide a portion-controlled appetizer for the perfect bite before the main course.

Notes

Eggs take longer to cook at higher elevations, so keep that in mind depending on where you live. Fresh eggs are also more difficult to peel; to make it easy (and end up with a smooth, perfectly peeled egg), buy your eggs 1-2 weeks before you plan to make this recipe, if possible.
