Expert Tips
Boiling Eggs
Before getting started on Keto Avocado Deviled Eggs, you must start with the egg! No matter whether eggs are pressure cooked or boiled, having a solid boiled egg is a requirement. Personally I prefer to use the Ninja Foodi as they make easy peel hard boiled eggs.
Once eggs are done and peeled, boiled eggs can be stored easily in the fridge making for quick deviled egg prep.

FAQ’s
Absolutely. While this deviled egg recipe has no mayo in the original recipe, its easy to substitute for real mayo like a traditional deviled egg would be made.
The color will depend on the balance of the green avocado, how yellow the egg yokes are, and the white sour cream. Often when I see really green eggs, its because they removed the yellow yokes or use more white. Its like playing with a food color wheel!
Just like anything with avocado in it, the filling will brown. It may take a bit, but it will brown. I’d suggest using Fruit Fresh
. Toss this in when you puree it all in the food processor
.
Eggs for deviled eggs should be solid. This is typically done by hard boiling an egg for 12 minutes. However, I prefer to use a pressure cooker. Use a pressure cooker to boil a ton of eggs at once quite easily! Check out my Ninja Foodi Hard Boiled Eggs tutorial for perfectly peeled eggs (which make great deviled eggs).
I used was Wilton 2D
in an 18″ pastry bag
. You may have left over filling with this one. The left overs would be really good spread on a meat sandwich
Deviled eggs have a shelf life of approximately 1 day before they leak moisture into the container. They can still be eaten at day 2, but are best fresh. Additional the avocado center will brown and while it doesn’t affect the flavor, can be unappealing to some.
Are Deviled Eggs Keto & Healthier?
Even when not made with avocado, most deviled eggs are, in fact, KETO. The only concern is to make sure the deviled eggs are not made extra additive ingredients like honey mustard.
But these Keto Deviled eggs are made with no mayo and no mustard and instead bring in delicious high fat Avocado.
