Ingredients Needed

Complete list of ingredients with quantities and instructions is located in the recipe card below

Eggs: The foundation of the dish, eggs provide structure and a base for the flavors. The yolks blend with the avocado for the filling, while the whites serve as a vessel.
Avocado: Key to this recipe’s unique twist, avocado brings a creamy texture and a rich, buttery taste. It’s also packed with healthy fats and nutrients, making it a nutritious addition.
Sour Cream: Adds a tangy richness, enhancing the creamy texture of the filling.
Lemon Juice: A splash of lemon juice contributes a bright, citrusy note. It not only adds freshness to the flavor profile but also helps in preserving the vibrant green color of the avocado.
Parsley: Used for garnish.
Paprika Powder: A light sprinkle of paprika powder provides a subtle warmth and smokiness, enhancing the overall taste and adding a decorative touch to the presentation.

How To Make Avocado Deviled Eggs

Boil the Eggs: Start by placing the eggs in a pot of water. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and let the eggs cook for 8-10 minutes. This ensures they are perfectly hard-boiled.
Cool and Peel Eggs: Once boiled, immediately transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water. This stops the cooking process and makes peeling easier. After they’ve cooled, gently peel off the shells.
Prepare the Avocado Filling: Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash it until smooth. This will be the base for your deviled egg filling.
Mix Filling Ingredients: Slice the eggs in half lengthwise and carefully remove the yolks. Add these yolks to the mashed avocado. Then, stir in sour cream, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until the filling is creamy and well-combined.

Fill the Egg Whites: Rinse the empty egg whites and pat them dry. This step ensures a clean surface for the filling. Using a spoon or piping bag, fill the egg whites with the avocado mixture. Be generous but careful to keep it neat.
Garnish and Serve: Finally, sprinkle each deviled egg with paprika and garnish with a small sprig of parsley. This not only adds flavor but also makes the eggs visually appealing.

Recipe Tips

Fresh Ingredients: Use the freshest eggs and ripe avocados for the best taste and texture. Fresh eggs might be a bit harder to peel, but they provide a smoother, more appealing finish.
Perfect Boiling: Ensure your eggs are perfectly hard-boiled by following the boiling and cooling process closely. Avoid overcooking, as this can lead to a green ring around the yolk and a rubbery texture.
Smooth Avocado Mash: For a creamy and smooth filling, thoroughly mash the avocado until there are no lumps. A smoother mash ensures a more elegant and pleasant texture in the filling.
Balanced Seasoning: Taste your filling as you mix. Adjust the salt, pepper, and lemon juice to find the right balance of flavors. Remember, it’s easier to add more seasoning than to fix an over-seasoned mix.
Gentle Filling: When filling the egg whites, be gentle to maintain their shape. A piping bag can provide a neater and more professional appearance, but a spoon works well for a rustic look.
Chill Before Serving: Allow the filled eggs to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This helps the flavors to meld and the filling to set, offering a better texture and taste.
Last-Minute Garnish: Add the paprika and parsley garnish just before serving to keep them vibrant and fresh. This small step can greatly enhance the overall presentation.
