Through working at a restaurant and being at culinary school, I have literally made thousands of deviled eggs. I never understood the hype for them since I am repulsed by anything with mayo. So I decided to make a healthy version, using avocados instead of mayo!
This is a huge crowd pleaser and easy to make! You can also garnish the tops with anything you would like and they will always taste good. Give them a go for the next time you have people over or just want a bomb snack!
Ingredients:
- 15 hard boiled eggs
- 2 avocados
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 2 pieces of crispy bacon for garnishment (optional)
*will need pot of boiling water, ice bath, and ziploc bag
Instructions:
- Boil a pot of water and lower the eggs into the water carefully so they don’t crack. Set a timer for 12 minutes. While they are cooking set up an ice bath. Once the 12 minutes are up immediately transfer to the ice bath until cooled throughout.
- Peel off the shells and begin slicing the eggs in half. To prevent the yolks from sticking to the knife, wet the knife each time you slice a new egg.
- Spoon out the yolks into a bowl and set your whites to the side. Add your two avocados to the bowl, salt, and smoked paprika. Mix with a hand mixer or whisk until smooth. Taste to check the seasoning, adjust accordingly.
- With a spatula, scrape the yolk/avocado mixture into a large ziploc bag towards the bottom corner, (we are making a piping bag with it). Cut the corner so there is a nickel size opening where you will squeeze the mixture out. Squeeze out into the egg whites.
- Garnish with the crumbled bacon or whatever else you may want! Serve immediately, color will brown after a few hours.
