Guacamole Deviled Eggs Recipe

Introduction

These Guacamole Deviled Eggs are a fresh, flavorful twist on a classic appetizer. Combining creamy avocado with zesty lime and smoky paprika, they make a delightful bite-sized treat perfect for parties or snacks.

Ingredients

• 6 hard boiled eggs (peeled and cut lengthwise)
• 1 avocado (pitted and peeled)
• 1 tbsp lime juice
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp garlic (or 1 tsp minced garlic)
• 2 tsp cilantro (or 2 tsp finely chopped cilantro)
• Smoked paprika, for sprinkling

Instructions

1. Step 1: Remove the egg yolks from the halved eggs and place them into a small bowl. Add the avocado, lime juice, salt, onion powder, garlic, and cilantro.
2. Step 2: Use a fork to mash the mixture until smooth and well combined.
3. Step 3: Spoon or pipe the guacamole mixture back into the egg white halves.
4. Step 4: Sprinkle each filled egg with a dash of smoked paprika before serving.

Tips & Variations

• For extra creaminess, add a spoonful of sour cream or Greek yogurt to the guacamole mix.
• If you prefer a bit of heat, mix in a pinch of cayenne pepper or finely chopped jalapeño.
• Use fresh lime juice rather than bottled for a brighter flavor.
• Try garnishing with chopped tomatoes or extra cilantro for added freshness.

Storage

Store the guacamole deviled eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Because avocado browns quickly, it’s best to enjoy them fresh but covering with plastic wrap to reduce air exposure can help preserve color. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I prepare these deviled eggs ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare them up to 1 day in advance. Keep them covered tightly in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and prevent the avocado from browning too much.

Can I use flavored paprika instead of smoked paprika?

While smoked paprika adds a subtle smokiness, you can substitute with sweet or hot paprika if preferred. The flavor profile will change slightly but still work well.
