Guacamole Deviled Eggs

January 15, 2014 · by Ari ·

Healthier, dairy-free and paleo friendly deviled eggs with a flavorful guacamole kick. The perfect protein-packed snack or party food.

Guacamole Deviled Eggs: The perfect healthy, dairy-free, paleo friendly, protein packed snack or party food

I used to think deviled eggs were really weird. It probably goes back to when I was convinced I hated mayo. Okay, I still don’t not a mayo lover, but I also am not one of those people who won’t eat anything that’s been on the same plate as mayo, either. I feel like that’s rare. Mayo neutralism. It seems to be one of those polarizing things like eggnog.

Now eggnog I do feel very strongly about. In a love way. But mayo? Meh…I guess I just don’t really care, which is probably why I don’t use it. And I definitely didn’t use it here, but I guess what my point was is that I thought I hated deviled eggs because I thought I hated mayo. Kind of how I now “hate” hollandaise sauce, but really only because I haven’t tried it, and I won’t try it because I know deep down that I will probably like it, and the last thing I need in the world is to like yet an other thing that is filled with unnecessary calories. My love of pizza and chocolate has that covered. Oh, and eggnog.

Guacamole Deviled Eggs: The perfect healthy, dairy-free, paleo friendly, protein packed snack or party food

One day I went over to my friend Emily’s house, and there were green deviled eggs. Ummm can we talk about how IΒ just realized that these are green eggs….like green eggs and ham. I am freaking Dr. Seuss over here, but I just realized it. I should have rhymed this entire post, but then it would have been like that awful rhyming episode of How I Met Your Mother. I love that show, but that episode was the worst.

Okay, I’m sorry. There were green eggs, and I don’t remember if she called them guacamole deviled eggs or if that’s just what they reminded me of, but it was love at first bite. So much love that IΒ had to recreate them. The result is a fresh, flavorful and totally addicting deviled egg that is unlike any you’ve had before.

Guacamole Deviled Eggs

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Total Time: 20 minutes

Yield: 2 dozen

Guacamole Deviled Eggs

Ingredients

  • 12 hard boiled eggs
  • 1 medium avocado, peeled and pitted
  • 1/2 lime, zest & juice
  • small handful fresh cilantro, finely chopped
  • 1 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped jalapeno
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • dash red pepper flakes
  • generous pinch each salt and pepper
  • cayenne pepper for topping

Instructions

  1. Split hard boiled eggs length wise and scoop the yolks out into a medium mixing bowl. Add avocado, lime (zest and juice), cilantro, garlic, jalapeno, cumin, red pepper, salt and pepper to egg yolks and beat until well combined (I used an immersion blender).
  2. Use a piping bag, extra small cookie scoop or spoon to transfer egg yolk mixture evenly between the egg whites (you may have some extra left over). Top each egg with a small pinch of cayenne pepper. Eggs are best served day of, but leftovers may be refrigerated in an airtight container for 3-5 days.

    Holy, yum!! I usually kind of hate reviled eggs because mayo, gross, but umm eggs and avocado? Yes please! Best combination ever!

      Hehe thanks Katy! I had a feeling you would be a mayo hater! πŸ˜‰

    I am another mayo neutralist, but I am a total deviled egg LOVER. I think it dates back to my parents having “fancy” dinner parties and always serving deviled eggs as apps–it made me think they were special! I’ve never tried adding avocado, but since avocado is delicious, I’m pretty sure that by the transitive property, that makes these deviled eggs absolutely delicious too. Can’t wait to try them!

      I love them too! Mayo or no mayo, I can’t get enough! I love that you used the transitive property! πŸ™‚

      Awww thanks Tina! I use Greek yogurt in place of mayo most of the time, but I love having a dairy-free alternative as well!

    I’m a fan of deviled eggs, but rarely make them since they’re so unhealthy. I love that these are dairy free, and that they are green!

      I agree! I’ve always loved them, but tried to avoid them. Healthier versions of my favorite unhealthy foods is pretty much what I am all about in life! πŸ™‚

    I like to smash up an egg with avocado, but it never actually looks appetizing enough to serve other people. I love how you made this look sharable and delicious. Thanks!

      That sounds delicious too, and ya know what? I find that as long as things taste really good, the people you’re serving never really care too much about how it looks. πŸ˜‰

    I’m actually a huge mayo lover, but I’m also an avocado lover so these deviled eggs are calling out my name. Such a modern twist on a totally retro dish!
