Cover the eggs with cold water until they are fully submerged. Heat the pot over medium heat. Bring the water to a gentle boil. Once it bubbles, cover the pot and remove it from the heat. Let the eggs sit in the hot water for 12 minutes. This method gives you perfect hard-boiled eggs. Use a quick cooling method to stop the cooking. After 12 minutes, move the eggs to a bowl filled with ice water. Let them sit for about 5 minutes. This will cool the eggs and make peeling easier. To peel the eggs, gently tap each one on a flat surface. Roll it lightly to crack the shell. Peel under running water to help remove the shell smoothly. Now it's time to make the filling. Slice each cooled egg in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop the yolks into a medium mixing bowl. Add one ripe avocado, two tablespoons of Greek yogurt, one tablespoon of fresh lime juice, one teaspoon of Dijon mustard, and one clove of finely minced garlic. Add a pinch of salt and black pepper for flavor. Use a fork or potato masher to blend everything until smooth and creamy. This step is key for a great texture. When the mixture is ready, you need to fill the egg whites. You can use a spoon for this or a piping bag fitted with a decorative tip. I recommend using a piping bag for a neat look. Generously fill each egg white half, creating a nice mound on top. This will make the eggs look more appealing. For the final touches, lightly dust the filled eggs with paprika. This adds color and flavor. Sprinkle finely chopped cilantro or chives on top for a fresh touch. The garnishes make the eggs look and taste even better.

Let the eggs sit for 12 minutes. This ensures firm yolks without the gray ring. For a creamy texture, use a ripe avocado. It should be soft but not brown. Adding Greek yogurt helps create a smooth filling. Mash the yolks and avocado well until they blend into a creamy mix. If you want it even creamier, use a hand mixer for a few seconds. You can spice things up with a few tasty additions. Try adding paprika or cayenne for a kick. Smoked paprika gives a nice twist too. If you want to switch things up, consider adding fresh herbs like dill or tarragon. To customize your avocado mixture, think about adding ingredients like lemon zest or a dash of hot sauce. This can give your deviled eggs unique flavors. A touch of crumbled bacon or even blue cheese can take it to another level. If you want healthier options, try using non-fat Greek yogurt. For a vegan twist, swap Greek yogurt with mashed silken tofu. It adds creaminess without dairy. You can also use avocado oil instead of yogurt for a lighter mix. For those who want a non-dairy option, try coconut yogurt. It has a mild flavor and works well with avocado. Just make sure to choose unsweetened yogurt to keep the taste balanced. Pro Tips Perfectly Boiled Eggs: For the best results, use eggs that are a few days old. Fresh eggs can be harder to peel due to their lower pH levels, which makes the membrane stick to the shell. Avocado Ripeness: Make sure your avocado is perfectly ripe for the best flavor and creaminess. It should yield slightly to gentle pressure when squeezed. Enhance Flavor: Experiment with additional seasonings such as cumin or cayenne pepper in the avocado mixture for a unique twist on the classic deviled egg. Presentation Matters: Use a piping bag to fill the egg whites for a professional look. If you don’t have one, a plastic bag with a corner snipped off works just as well! {{image_4}} To make your avocado deviled eggs spicy, add jalapeños or sriracha. These ingredients bring a nice heat.
