Ingredients
Scale
6 large eggs
1 ripe medium avocado
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (for garnish)
Instructions
Step 1: Hard boil the eggs: Place eggs in a pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a rolling boil, then remove from heat, cover, and let stand for 10-12 minutes. Drain, transfer to an ice bath, and let cool completely before carefully peeling.
Step 2: Prepare the egg whites and yolks: Slice each peeled hard-boiled egg lengthwise in half. Gently scoop out the yolks and place them in a medium bowl. Arrange the egg white halves on a serving platter.
Step 3: Create the avocado filling: Add the ripe avocado, lime juice, Dijon mustard, sea salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the egg yolks. Mash with a fork or potato masher until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
Step 4: Fill the egg whites: Spoon the avocado-yolk mixture into a piping bag (or a ziptop bag with a corner snipped off) and pipe the filling evenly into each egg white cavity. Alternatively, use a small spoon to fill them.
Step 5: Garnish and serve: Lightly dust the filled deviled eggs with smoked paprika before serving immediately. For best results and to prevent browning, serve within an hour, or refrigerate covered for up to 2 hours.
Notes
To keep your deviled eggs fresh and vibrant, store them tightly covered in the refrigerator and enjoy within 2 hours to prevent the avocado from browning.
These delicious deviled eggs are best enjoyed chilled or at room temperature; reheating is not recommended as it can alter the texture and flavor, especially of the creamy avocado filling.
Serve these healthy, creamy bites as an elegant appetizer for brunches, potlucks, or light gatherings, presenting them on a vibrant platter to showcase their beautiful color.
Don't skimp on the fresh lime juice; it's not just for zesty flavor but also a secret weapon to help keep your avocado filling from browning too quickly, preserving its beautiful green hue.
