Description
Guacamole deviled eggs are the perfect fusion of two beloved appetizers—creamy deviled eggs and rich, zesty guacamole. Instead of the traditional mayo-based filling, these deviled eggs get a fresh upgrade with ripe avocado, lime juice, and a kick of jalapeño. The result? A smooth, tangy, and slightly spicy bite-sized treat that’s perfect for parties, snacks, or even a healthy lunch.
Ingredients
Scale
For the Deviled Eggs:
- 6 large eggs
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 tablespoon lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon cumin (optional, for depth of flavor)
- 1 small jalapeño, finely chopped (seeds removed for less heat)
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 small Roma tomato, finely diced (optional, for extra freshness)
For Garnish:
- Extra chopped cilantro
- Smoked paprika or chili powder
- Sliced jalapeños
- Crumbled bacon (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Hard-Boil the Eggs
- Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water.
- Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then turn off the heat, cover, and let them sit for 10–12 minutes.
- Transfer the eggs to an ice bath and let them cool for at least 5 minutes before peeling.
Step 2: Make the Guacamole Filling
- Slice the peeled eggs in half lengthwise and gently scoop out the yolks into a bowl.
- Add the ripe avocado, lime juice, Dijon mustard, garlic, salt, black pepper, and cumin (if using).
- Mash everything together until smooth and creamy.
- Stir in the finely chopped jalapeño, red onion, cilantro, and diced tomato (if using).
Step 3: Fill the Egg Whites
- Spoon or pipe the guacamole mixture back into the egg whites.
- Sprinkle with smoked paprika or chili powder for an extra kick.
- Garnish with chopped cilantro, sliced jalapeños, or crumbled bacon for added crunch.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy!
Serve immediately for the freshest flavor, or chill in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours before serving.
Notes
- Use fully ripe avocados for a smooth, creamy texture.
- If you like extra spice, leave the seeds in the jalapeño or add a dash of hot sauce.
- For added protein, mix in some finely chopped cooked bacon.
- To prevent the avocado from browning, cover the eggs with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the filling.
