Quick and easy appetizer made with only a few simple ingredients, these avocado deviled eggs are ready in under an hour and are sure to be a hit with your guests.

📋 Ingredients and notes
To make avocado deviled eggs, you’ll need hardboiled eggs, a ripe avocado, Dijon mustard, lime juice, Greek yogurt (optional), salt, and black pepper, as well as paprika and chives for garnish.
Notes and Variations
Instead of paprika and chives for garnish, you can also use any herbs of your choice (like parsley stems, or scallions even) and omit paprika. You can kick it up a spicy notch and add chili powder, garlic powder or even a dash of hot sauce. To diversify your garnishes, you can add red onion, red pepper flakes or fresh cilantro to make this easy recipe tangy. Adding mayonnaise, sour cream, or Greek yogurt can help make an ultra creamy deviled egg, but I find that the avocado does the job well!

Make hardboiled eggs
To boil eggs, boil a pot of water in a large saucepan. Then, reduce heat and use a skimmer to place the eggs in the pot. Increase heat to a rolling boil and cook eggs for 13 minutes. After 13 minutes, remove eggs from the pot and place them in an ice water bath (a big bowl with ice and cold water). Once eggs have cooled down completely, peel and set aside. You can also make eggs in an Instant Pot or an air fryer super easily.
Make avocado-egg filling
Slice the cooked egg in half lengthwise. Remove the egg yolks using a small spoon and place in a medium mixing bowl. Set the egg whites (halves) aside after making sure there’s no yolks left on them.
Add mashed yolks along with Dijon mustard, fresh lime juice, salt, pepper, and avocado to a bowl and mash to combine. You can also add Greek yogurt to the mashed avocado if you want a creamier consistency! This will really depend on the creaminess of the yolk.
Pipe the avocado mixture into the egg white halves. You can do this with a simple plastic bag or a piping bag (or simply just spoon the filling into the egg-white halves). Garnish with chives and paprika (or other herbs and seasoning of your choice!
Enjoy these healthy, avocado deviled eggs!
🍴 Serving and storage suggestions
These deviled eggs can be stored in the fridge for a day or two, in an airtight container in a single layer. I don’t recommend freezing them! If you’re looking for a super cute tray to carry them, these deviled egg trays have saved my life at many a summer potluck! Prevents you from struggling with getting plastic wrap all over the tops of the deviled eggs.
If you have extra filling, you can store them in an airtight container for a day or two at most. But I recommend making the filling fresh if possible. So, I suggest just using the extra filling as an avocado egg salad instead! Throw it between two slices of bread, and you have a great sandwich!
