AVOCADO DEVILED EGGS
These will not last long…take them to a party or a potluck and they will disappear before your eyes!
Handsome little devils, for sure. High-protein eggs filled with creamy good-for-us avocados…WOW. Make lots.

We LOVE deviled eggs at our house but I’ve never thought of adding avocado. What a lovely idea and such pretty color too!
I can see why these didn’t last too long! Looks delicious!!!!!!!!
Love these! Never thought to use avocado–how creative!
these look like the perfect thing to bring to any gathering. So clever adding the avocado!!!
Miss Linda!
What a keeper… my fiance and I had gone to a farmers market and we had a bowl full of mild jalepenos and a medium sized avacado. The other night I decided I must use this stuff or it will waste. So- we had appetizers for dinner. The menu consisted of these super yummy eggs and I made bacon wrapped “jalepeno poppers”. **Bacon in place of breading and no deep frying.** Needless to say, he loved it and said it was like having party food for dinner. Thanks for the recipe!
If I am a dummmy please forgive my but what is a serving, 1/2 or one whole egg?
The stats are for one 1/2. (Weight loss surgery servings tend to be very small. For most people a serving would be two halves!)
Sorry for the confusion, doll…
12 servings? Ha ha ha! These look great, but I’m eating way more than one of these.
Lively photo Linda! You have so many creative, healthy ideas. I love your flavor combinations!
What a KEEPER, Linda – thank you!!! My WLS friend made these & they are the best deviled eggs I’ve ever had! How does your other deviled egg recipe compare to this one? Thanks for all you do to make our lives tasty & delicious 🙂
Well, thank you very much!
The other ones are very good, too…different completely from these, though!
Oh, I love different…that way I won’t have to ‘offend’ the avacado eggs! LOL
*avocado* I can’t stand spelling errors and it won’t let me edit LOL
Damn…these sound delicious!! Another twist on the expected is Smoked Salmon Deviled Eggs. Here’s a recipe I recently tried…would love to know what you think! http://wp.me/puWta-4o
any alternative to the mayo? or leave it out?….curious, these look amazing!
You could use plain Greek-style yogurt, sour cream, or light mayo/salad dressing. Then adjust the salt, if need be. Will change the taste a little, but still be really good!
I grew up on deviled eggs here in Texas but I never thought to put avocado in them (probably because I don’t like them very much, I’ve been looking for ways to put them in recipes that I might like!) Anyway, here in Texas, or at least the area I’m in, we make everything with mustard instead of mayo… It’s amazing! I’ve had deviled eggs with mayo before and compared to the mustard ones they just seem to be lacking. I had a friend who’s mother added equal parts mustard and thousand island dressing as well. It changes the dynamic of the flavor but I can promise that it’s completely worth it! My step mother is from Germany and she always likes to blend Texas styles with German styles and so she does half mustard and half mayo with relish, onions, pickle juice instead of lemon juice, and various other veggies to add texture. She sometimes even adds bacon or ham to them! ANYTHING is good in deviled eggs!!!!!!!!
These are incredibly delicious! Thank you!
It’s National Deviled Egg Day today and I decided to make your Avocado Deviled Eggs and bring them to work! I just wanted to let you know THEY ARE A HIT! Everyone’s asking for your recipe! Thanks so much for the inspiration!
National Deviled Egg Day??!! How did I miss that?! I will have to make a batch of some sort tonight. I’m so glad you and your coworkers loved them!
YES GIRL! National Deviled Egg Day! How did you NOT have that marked on your calendar?! :)))) It doesn’t matter…my coworkers will be talking about THIS holiday FOREVER because of your eggs. The creamy goodness was just EPIC. xoxoxoxo
I skipped the mayo and just used more avocado with fantastic results!
is there an alternative to mayonnaise? I dont not like miracle whip or mayo…bleh….
You could try sour cream or Greek yogurt to replace the mayonnaise. Might have to add some extra salt to account for what would be in the mayo, but it would certainly work!
I agree with John… it’s 12! I can’t wait to try these.. and my family call’s them “Angel Eggs” because they are so Heavenly.. 🙂
I just bought all ingredients to make these today, but forgot the lemons;/ I’m reading online that vinegar is a good substitution for lemon juice. Does this sound like a good idea?
I just found your eggs through Pinterest and can’t wait to try them. I just posted my version of deviled eggs with onion and cracked black pepper and was thinking of eggs and wala there was yours….love avocado so I am excited!
I love to stuff my eggs with roasted pine nut hummus! You wont believe it till you try it and youll be hooked! Its guilt free and delish 😉
These were a hit when I made them for a bridal shower. I featured a link to your recipe today because I received such great compliments for them.

I’m trying this a little later tonight – we have tons of Easter eggs I can use up 😉
I had eight eggs to use up. I used pickle juice instead of lemon (*always* pickle juice, it’s my “secret”!), only 1Tbsp of Hellman’s mayo and then 2Tbsp of yellow mustard, & doubled the garlic powder and cayenne. Then I adjusted to taste/texture, adding a bit more pickle juice, mayo, mustard to make it creamier, and cayenne (and a little bit of turmeric and cumin). Sprinkled with cayenne and smoked paprika. Delish.
I would add even more cayenne (I love spicy and have a high tolerance) but I had friends who would not appreciate that much spicy. 🙂
OMG! Back on my low carb weight loss journey and this is my first breakfast/snack recipe to try. I didn’t have lemon on hand so I used tarragon vinegar. Added 1/8 tsp granulated onion, dried parsely & coriander each. Also added a little diced ham (about 2 tablespoons) and topped with some freshly grated paremsan. The parmesan made these tasty bites go from great to extraordinary.
I wish I could eat this but I have really bad digestive problems with eggs. I love avocados to death though. When you put it all together though it looks really beautiful.
Do you think I could make these a day ahead? Thinking about it for Thanksgiving!
The only problem would be the avocados turning the filling dark. You could mix it up and have them ready to fill at the last minute. Just place plastic wrap DIRECTLY on top of the filling in a bowl so that there is no air and it will stay nice and bright!
OMG!!!!! These are amazing! The kids loved them too. I used Paprika on top. Thanks for the recipe. 🙂
Enjoy!
I made a couple tiny adjustments.. Lime juice instead of lemon, cilantro instead of parsley and just pinch of cumin. WOW!! Awesomely good. 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
These were really tasty. I loved the lemon juice in them, added just the right touch! Thanks for the recipe.
