A quick and easy twist on classic deviled eggs featuring a creamy avocado and cilantro filling that is perfect for entertaining and everyday snacking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, hard-boiled
  • 1 medium ripe avocado, mashed smooth
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt to taste (preferably kosher salt)
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Smoked paprika for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place 6 large eggs in a single layer in a pot and cover with cold water by about an inch.
  2. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, then cover and remove from heat. Let sit for exactly 12 minutes.
  3. Drain hot water and transfer eggs to an ice bath or cold water for 5 minutes to stop cooking.
  4. Gently tap and peel shells; peeling under running water helps if shells stick.
  5. Slice eggs in half lengthwise and carefully remove yolks into a mixing bowl.
  6. Scoop the ripe avocado into the bowl with yolks and mash together until smooth but slightly chunky.
  7. Stir in chopped cilantro, Greek yogurt, lime juice, garlic powder, ground cumin, salt, and pepper until creamy and well combined.
  8. Using a spoon or piping bag, fill each egg white half with the avocado-cilantro mixture and smooth or swirl the tops.
  9. Lightly sprinkle smoked paprika over the filled eggs if desired.
  10. Chill in the fridge for 15 minutes before serving to let flavors meld.

Notes

Use ripe but firm avocados to avoid watery filling. For dairy-free options, substitute Greek yogurt with coconut yogurt. To keep avocado from browning, add extra lime juice and assemble just before serving. Piping bags create a neater presentation but a spoon works fine. Chill eggs for 15 minutes before serving to meld flavors.
