A fresh and creamy twist on classic deviled eggs using ripe avocado, lime juice, and cilantro for a zesty, herbaceous flavor. Quick and easy to prepare, perfect for snacks or gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, hard-boiled, peeled, and cooled
  • 1 medium ripe avocado, mashed until smooth
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves, finely chopped (or fresh parsley as substitute)
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt to taste (start with 1/4 teaspoon)
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste (about 1/8 teaspoon)
  • Smoked paprika (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Place 6 large eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by about 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat (about 10 minutes). Remove from heat and cover the pan. Let the eggs sit for 12 minutes for fully hard-boiled yolks.
  2. Transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water immediately to stop the cooking. Let cool for 5 minutes. Gently tap each egg on the counter and peel under running water.
  3. Slice each egg in half lengthwise and carefully remove the yolks into a mixing bowl. Mash the yolks with a fork until crumbly.
  4. Add mashed avocado, mayonnaise, fresh lime juice, Dijon mustard, and chopped cilantro to the yolks. Mix until creamy and smooth. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  5. Spoon or pipe the creamy avocado mixture back into the hollowed egg whites, forming a smooth mound on each half.
  6. Lightly sprinkle smoked paprika or extra cilantro on top for garnish. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use eggs about a week old for easier peeling. If avocado is too firm, microwave for 10 seconds to soften. Add a teaspoon of water or extra lime juice if filling is too thick. Chill filled eggs at least 15 minutes for best flavor. Reserve some cilantro for garnish. Avoid over-salting. May substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt or olive oil for dairy-free version. Optional smoked paprika adds color and mild smoky flavor.
