Whole30 deviled eggs - featured image

A creamy, tangy deviled eggs recipe that uses avocado instead of mayo, perfect for a quick, healthy Whole30-compliant snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
  • 1 medium ripe avocado, peeled and pitted
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Smoked paprika, for garnish
  • Fresh chives, finely chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place 6 large eggs in a single layer in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by about an inch. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, then cover and remove from heat. Let sit for 10-12 minutes.
  2. Transfer eggs immediately to an ice bath for at least 5 minutes to stop cooking and make peeling easier. Once cooled, gently tap the eggs on a hard surface and peel off the shells. Rinse any bits of shell away.
  3. Slice each egg in half lengthwise. Carefully remove yolks and place them in a mixing bowl. Set the whites aside on a serving plate.
  4. Add the avocado, Dijon mustard, and fresh lemon juice to the bowl with the yolks. Mash everything together with a fork or small whisk until smooth and creamy. Add sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of water or olive oil to loosen.
  5. Spoon or pipe the avocado-yolk mixture back into the egg white halves, piling it up for presentation.
  6. Sprinkle smoked paprika over the filled eggs and add finely chopped fresh chives if desired. Serve immediately or refrigerate up to 24 hours.

Notes

Use an ice bath immediately after boiling eggs to ensure easy peeling and tender whites. Ripe avocado is key for smooth filling; underripe will be chunky and bitter, overripe mushy and brown. Add lemon juice to prevent avocado browning. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Avoid freezing. For a fancy presentation, use a piping bag with a star tip.
