A creamy and refreshing twist on classic deviled eggs using ripe avocado and fresh herbs, perfect for parties and gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
  • 1 medium ripe avocado, peeled and pitted
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Smoked paprika (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Place 6 large eggs in a medium pot and cover with cold water by about an inch. Bring the water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, then cover the pot and remove from heat. Let sit for 10-12 minutes.
  2. Drain hot water and immediately transfer eggs to an ice bath for 5 minutes to stop cooking. Gently tap and peel under cold running water to remove shells.
  3. Slice eggs in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out yolks into a mixing bowl, setting the whites aside on a serving plate.
  4. Add the ripe avocado, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and fresh lemon juice to the bowl with yolks. Mash with a fork or potato masher until smooth and creamy.
  5. Fold in finely chopped dill and chives. Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Mix well.
  6. Use a piping bag or spoon to fill each egg white half generously with the green filling.
  7. Sprinkle a pinch of smoked paprika over each egg for color and subtle warmth. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use ripe but firm avocados to avoid mushy filling. Add lemon juice to prevent avocado browning. If filling is too thick, add a splash of milk or water. For dairy-free, substitute mayonnaise with avocado oil mayo or vegan mayo. Chill eggs at least 30 minutes before serving to meld flavors.
