These Avocado Deviled Eggs are packed with flavor and so much better than the traditional recipes. Sorry regular old deviled eggs, you are no longer needed in my recipe arsenal! No worries…these are super easy to make with the addition of avocado, cilantro, a bit of spicy mustard and fresh lime juice. Top it off with fresh cilantro for a beautiful appetizer or side dish at your next get together. You will probably want to makes extras!
Deviled eggs are so versatile, you can pretty much eat them for any meal. They also make an excellent high protein snack if you are looking to cut back on the carbs. Ha…who am I kidding? I seem to spend most of my time dreaming of ways to increase my carb consumption with my relentless pursuit of pancake and french toast greatness! This has yielded excellent results for my upcoming post…Overnight Blueberry French Toast with a decadent homemade blueberry syrup.
Okay, so I made this deviled egg recipe for Easter brunch this year on a whim and it turned out to be a huge crowd pleaser. I ended up making them again over Mother’s Day weekend along with my other go-to Best Breakfast Egg Casserole recipe. The game plan is always to prepare as much food as possible the night before. This leaves ample time in the morning to dress 2 little princesses and pick up dozens of naked Barbie dolls. Huh…why can’t they just leave their clothes on?

I so need to try this recipe. I love deviled eggs and use avocados in so many of my recipes. I am sure the avocados add so much creaminess to these eggs.

I used to always have deviled eggs as a kid. My mum would make them with a bit of curry powder and mayo but I’m loving your recipe more. The avocado, cilantro and cayenne sounds like a winning combo to me.
Holly says
