Avocado Deviled Egg Ingredients
- 6 hard-boiled eggs

- Juice of 1/2 lime
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Paprika for garnish
- Optional: chopped cilantro, paprika, or crispy bacon for garnish
How to make Avocado Deviled Eggs
Prepare the Eggs: Start by boiling your eggs. For perfectly hard-boiled eggs, place them in a pot of water, bring to a boil, then simmer for 12 minutes. Once done, cool the eggs in an ice bath before peeling them.
- I have an article on How to Boil Eggs here or use a Pressure Cooker to Boil Eggs here.
Create the Filling: Cut each egg in half lengthwise and carefully remove the yolks. Place the yolks in a food processor.
Add the fresh avocado, sour cream, lime juice, salt, and pepper to the food processor. Process for about 20 seconds, then scrape down the sides of the bowl. Process for another 20 seconds or until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Fill the Eggs: Transfer the avocado mixture to a piping bag fitted with a large tip, or simply use a spoon to fill each egg white half with the mixture.
If you’re using a piping bag, pipe the filling into the egg whites. You can mix up the star tips till you find which decoration shape you like.
Garnish: Sprinkle the filled eggs with a bit of paprika and optionally, chopped cilantro.
Expert Tips for Perfect Deviled Eggs
- Boiling Eggs: Boil your eggs ahead of time and store them in the fridge. This makes the assembly quick and easy.
- Prevent Browning: The avocado filling can brown if made too far in advance. Consider making these deviled eggs the same day you plan to serve them, or store them with a light sprinkle of Fruit Fresh to maintain the green color.
- Filling Alternatives: While this recipe uses sour cream, you can substitute it with Greek yogurt or even return to a traditional mayo if you prefer like an egg salad sandwich recipe.
- Topping Ideas: For an extra burst of flavor, sprinkle the tops of the eggs with smoked paprika, add a touch of spicy cayenne, finish with crispy bacon pieces, or crumble blue cheese, feta cheese, or goat cheese on top. Bacon avocado deviled eggs sounds so good!
