How to make Avocado Deviled Eggs

The base of any great deviled egg recipe will always start with that “just-right” hard boiled egg. You want a medium-hard boil on your eggs so that the yolk is not too dry or too wet. If you want some additional pointers on how to boil eggs, check out my tutorial. Just click the underlined text to learn more.

Prepare Eggs

1. Peel the eggs.
2. Cut them in half lengthwise.
3. Scoop the yolks out into a bowl, careful not to rip the whites.

Make Filling

1. Add the avocado, lime juice, cilantro, and salt to the egg yolks.
2. Mash with a fork until well combined.

Pipe Filling

1. Fold a sandwich bag over an empty cup and scoop the egg yolk filling into the bag.
2. Once full, use scissors to snip off one of the corners and pipe the filling into the empty wells of the halved eggs.

Tips for making Avocado Stuffed Deviled Eggs

1. Choose a ripe avocado. If your avocado is on the less ripe side, it will be very difficult to mash it smoothly with the egg yolk. The best way to test an avocado for ripeness is to press it gently with both thumbs. A ripe avocado should be soft enough for you to feel the flesh moving under the peel when you press. If it squishes, it’s over-ripe. If it doesn’t give, it’s not ripe enough!
2. Fill your bag with ease. The best way to fill a piping bag (or, in this case, a plastic sandwich bag that functions as a piping bag) is to place the bag, tip down, inside a tall plastic or glass cup and fold the edges over the rim of the cup. This leaves you with two free hands to scoop the filling out of the mixing bowl and into the bag. When the bag is filled, unfold the edges of the bag from the rim, and lift it straight up out of the cup!
3. Use a food processor for a smoother consistency. Instead of mashing the avocado with the egg yolks with a fork in a bowl, you can place the ingredients in a small food processor for an ultra-smooth filling. This also makes it easier to pipe it.
4. Go for a medium-hard boil on your eggs. You don’t want to use soft boiled eggs for this recipe, but you don’t want them to be so hard boiled that the yolk is dry. If your eggs are overcooked, they will be difficult to scoop out of the whites. A tad bit over medium boiled should do the trick!

popular substitutions & additions

• Add in finely chopped onions, garlic, and jalapeño. This will give your avocado-deviled eggs a nice texture and kick of heat for a stronger guacamole vibe.
• Use parsley instead of cilantro. Does someone you know have a cilantro aversion? No problem! Parsley makes a delicious and still flavorful substitution in this recipe.
• Mix up the toppings. If you’re making a large batch, don’t be afraid to vary it up a bit with different toppings with each half a dozen. Some of my favorites are diced tomatoes, cayenne pepper, cumin, chile powder, cilantro, jalapeño, and even a bit of lime pulp!
• Switch up the citrus. No limes on hand? No problem! You can use fresh lemon juice in place of the lime juice in this recipe without any issue.

how to store avocado deviled eggs

Since this recipe contains avocado, it’s best to eat these deviled eggs within a day or two of making them. The lime will help keep them from oxidizing and turning brown, but they won’t last as long as traditional hard boiled eggs.

You’ll want to store them in an airtight container or on a plate tightly covered in plastic wrap.

how long will avocado deviled eggs last in the fridge?

You’ve probably got two, maybe three days tops before they start to look a little sad in the fridge. Again, this has to do with the fact that they contain avocado. So, unfortunately, the shelf-life isn’t as great as traditional hard boiled eggs.

can i freeze deviled eggs?

Yes and no. You can freeze the egg yolk feeling for deviled eggs, but it is not advised to freeze the whites. Why? Freezing the whites can make them watery and rubbery when they are thawed. So, if you want to freeze deviled eggs, it is best to do so with just the yolk filling.
