What Are Deviled Eggs?
Deviled eggs start out as hard-boiled eggs. The cooked eggs are then peeled, cut in half and mixed with other ingredients to make a creamy center. You can prepare hard boiled eggs by boiling them in a saucepan, prepare in a instant pot or you can bake hard boiled eggs in the oven.
Key Ingredients You’ll Need
- Eggs: You will need to prepare 6 hard-boiled eggs by boiling them in hot water for 10-15 minutes.
- Avocados: These will add the main additional flavor and make the mixture very creamy.
- Lime Juice: I prefer to use freshly squeezed lime juice for the best flavoring.
- Seasonings: I like to use fresh cilantro, garlic powder, salt, and pepper with a little dash of paprika on top (for garnish – optional).
How To Make Avocado Deviled Eggs
- Step 1. Prepare your hard-boiled eggs and take off the outer shells. Cut the eggs vertically down the middle and gently take out the cook egg yolk in the middle.
- Step 2. Add the yolks and avocado to a mixing bowl and use a fork to mash and combine until smooth. Mix in the rest of the ingredients and combine until fully incorporated.
- Step 3. Use a spoon or piping bag to add the mixture into the center of each hard-boiled egg white. Top with a dash of paprika if desired.
