Avocado deviled eggs combine creamy avocado with classic deviled eggs for a fresh and nutritious twist that’s perfect for snacks or appetizers.

  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then cover, remove from heat, and let stand for 12 minutes.

  7. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving for best flavor.

Notes

For a spicy kick, add a dash of cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the avocado mixture before filling the eggs.
