Expert Tips
While making these deviled eggs is super easy, you might want to take note of these little tips and tricks too.
- If you don’t have the lime juice that the recipe calls for, you can use lemon juice instead.
- To add flavor to the mixture with the avocado and egg yolks, you can add some garlic powder, cayenne pepper, bagel seasoning or just some salt and black pepper.
- If you want the mixture to have a spicy kick, you can mix in some chili powder or hot sauce.
- To get the perfect creamy texture for the filling, you can process the egg yolks and the avocado in a food processor.
- I used finely chopped cilantro to garnish the eggs, but you can also try using chopped green onion or fresh chives.
- Chopped red onion can also be a good addition to the filling for the avocado deviled eggs.
- You can also mix some sour cream into the mixture to bring some extra flavor.
Storage Instructions
- Refrigeration: After preparing the avocado deviled eggs, promptly refrigerate for 2-3 days.
- Airtight Container: Store the avocado deviled eggs in an airtight container to prevent them from absorbing odors from other foods in the refrigerator. You can place a layer of paper towel on the bottom of the container to absorb any excess moisture.
- Covering: If you’re storing the avocado deviled eggs on a plate or platter, cover them tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil before placing them in the refrigerator.
How To Serve Deviled Eggs?
Your creamy avocado deviled eggs can be served on their own, or as a side dish in a nice serving platter.
- Crisp Bacon: Crumbled bacon adds a savory crunch and smoky flavor that complements the creamy texture of deviled eggs perfectly.
- Pickled Red Onions: Tangy pickled red onions provide a bright contrast to the richness of deviled eggs. Their acidity cuts through the creamy filling and adds a burst of flavor.
- Fresh Herbs: Sprinkle chopped fresh herbs such as chives, dill, or parsley over the deviled eggs for a pop of color and a fresh herbal aroma. The herbs enhance the overall presentation and add a subtle layer of flavor.
