How to Choose Avocado?
Choosing a ripe avocado is important if you want to enjoy its creamy texture and delicious flavor.
- A ripe avocado should be a dark green or blackish color. If the avocado is bright green, it is likely not yet ripe.
- A ripe avocado should feel slightly soft when you gently squeeze it, but not too mushy. If the avocado feels too firm or too soft, it may not be ripe.
- If the avocado has a stem still attached, gently remove it. If it comes off easily and you see green underneath, it is likely ripe. If the stem is hard to remove or you see brown underneath, the avocado may be overripe.
- Check the avocado for any dark spots or blemishes. A few small spots are okay, but if the avocado has large areas of discoloration, it may be past its prime.
- If you need to use the avocado right away, choose one that is ripe and ready to eat. If you don't plan to use it for a few days, choose an avocado that is still firm and will ripen over time on your counter.
Guide for Boiling Eggs
Boiling eggs is a very easy process and an essential step in making Avocado Deviled Eggs. Here's how to do it on the stovetop in a few simple steps:
- Place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan, and add enough water to cover the eggs by about an inch.
- Place the saucepan on the stove over medium-high heat, and bring the water to a boil.
- Once the water boils, turn off the heat and cover the saucepan with a lid.
- Let the eggs sit in the hot water for 9-12 minutes, depending on how well done you prefer your yolks. For avocado deviled eggs, it's best to aim for fully cooked yolks but still bright yellow in color.
- After the desired cooking time, carefully remove the eggs from the hot water using a slotted spoon, and transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Let the eggs sit in the ice water for a few minutes until they are cool to the touch.
- Once the eggs have cooled, gently crack and peel off the shells.
Ingredients You'll Need

- Avocado - A small-sized avocado or half of a medium-sized avocado is enough for this recipe. Check out the tips on choosing the best avocado above!
- Eggs - You will need 6 large-sized hard-boiled eggs for 12 pieces of Avocado Deviled Eggs. I prefer using free-range eggs for the best flavor.

- Chives - Finely chopped chives elevate the flavor and make the deviled eggs look gorgeous!
- Seasoning - Salt, freshly ground black pepper, and chili flakes to season the deviled eggs.
How to Make Avocado Deviled Eggs without Mayo?
Making this creamy and delicious Deviled Eggs Recipe with Avocado is very easy and straightforward.
However, to achieve the best results, you need to follow a few simple steps:
Cut the avocado in half, scoop out the flesh into a bowl, and mash it using a fork. You can also use a food processor if you want to make it creamier.
Cut the hard-boiled eggs in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out the yolks.
Add the yolks to the mixing bowl with the avocado.
Transfer the sliced egg whites to a plate and set them aside for later.

Spoon the mixture into a piping bag, and fill the egg white halves.

Top Tips From the Chef
- Make sure to use avocados that are fully ripe for the best flavor and texture. The flesh should be soft but not mushy, and the skin should be dark in color.
- The quality of your eggs will affect the taste and appearance of your deviled eggs. Try to use fresh and organic eggs for the best results.

- Avocado deviled eggs can be quite mild in flavor, so don't be afraid to add plenty of seasonings and spices to enhance the taste. Lime juice, chili powder, fresh coriander, and smoked paprika are all great options to consider.
- To achieve a neat and professional-looking presentation, use a piping bag to fill the egg white halves with the avocado filling.
Serving Suggestions

Here are some serving suggestions and presentation ideas to help you make the most of this tasty dish:
Avocado Deviled Eggs pair well with a range of side dishes, such as fresh fruit or vegetable crudités.

How Long do Deviled Eggs Last in the Fridge?
Avocado deviled eggs can last in the fridge for up to two days if they are stored properly in an airtight container.
It's important to note that the avocado filling can turn brown quickly, even when refrigerated, so it's best to enjoy the deviled eggs as soon as possible after they have been prepared for optimal freshness and appearance.
Recipe FAQs
Yes, you can boil the eggs for up to 3 days ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator. However, I don't suggest making the avocado filling ahead as it will turn brown within an hour or two!
Yes, you can customize the seasoning in your Avocado Deviled Eggs to suit your taste preferences. Some popular options include cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and hot sauce.
Avocado Deviled Eggs do not freeze well due to the high water content of the avocado. It is best to enjoy them fresh or stored in the refrigerator for a short period of time.
