Guacamole Deviled Eggs Recipe
This Guacamole Deviled Eggs Recipe is a creamy, flavorful appetizer that blends classic deviled eggs with fresh guacamole flavours—ripe avocado, lime juice, and subtle spice—for a modern, crowd-pleasing bite perfect for parties, brunch, or holidays.
Ingredients
- 12 large eggs
- 3 medium ripe avocados
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
- 1 small jalapeno seeded and finely minced
- 2 tablespoons red onion very finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro finely chopped
- 1 garlic clove minced
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin optional
- 1 teaspoon salt adjust to taste
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Optional Garnishes:
- Smoked paprika or chili powder
- Crumbled bacon
- Cotija or feta cheese
- Microgreens or cilantro leaves
- Sliced radish or pickled jalapenos
Instructions
- Place the eggs in a large pot in a single layer and cover with cold water by about 1 inch.
- Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, then remove from heat, cover, and let the eggs sit for 10–12 minutes.
- Transfer the eggs immediately to an ice bath and cool for 5–10 minutes.
- Peel the eggs, slice them lengthwise, and carefully remove the yolks into a mixing bowl. Arrange the egg whites on a serving platter.
- Mash the egg yolks with a fork until crumbly. In a separate bowl, mash the avocados until smooth or slightly chunky.
- Combine the mashed yolks and avocados with lime juice, mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, jalapeno, red onion, cilantro, garlic, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix until creamy and well blended.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Spoon or pipe the guacamole filling evenly into the egg white halves.
- Garnish as desired and serve immediately or lightly chilled.
Notes
- To prevent browning, ensure enough lime juice is mixed into the filling and store with plastic wrap pressed directly on the surface.
- These deviled eggs are best served the same day but can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours in an airtight container.
- For extra spice, leave some jalapeno seeds or add a dash of hot sauce.
- For a smoother texture, blend the filling briefly in a food processor. Bacon, smoked salmon, or chipotle powder make excellent flavour variations.
