This is a twist on the traditional deviled egg. I usually use 1 or 2 fewer yolks for the filling.
This recipe was a great find. I loved the creaminess of the yolk and avocado mixture. The lime juice was also detectable, which we enjoyed. I only made 3 hard-boiled eggs and used all the yolks in the recipe. Yes, I did have extra filling, but I just finished it on a cracker or two. The one change I made was an optional item. Instead of the dash of hot sauce, I added a sprinkle of the cayenne pepper. Eggs were delish, and a definite keeper in this house. Thanks, thehealthyhousewife for sharing.

Made a dzen and a half today for Memorial Day parties and they were a huge hit with the adults and kids too! I didn't have lime juice on hand so I used lemon, a little more garlic than called for, and left out the turkey bacon (I didn't have any either), added the pepper to the filling and also sprinkled on top. It had a great flavor, not too heavy, and with just enough kick to make it exciting. Thank you for sharing.
What a nice twist to the deviled egg!!! I had to make a day ahead so I put the filling in a plastic bag, squeezed out the air and filled egg shells the next day.
I didn't have mayo or bacon and they were still great! I used more avo in place of the mayo, and then smoked paprika on top. Delicious!
This recipe turned out great! The flavors are good together, but I added a second squeeze of lime and a touch more cayenne to kick it up a notch. The only thing is that I made them a day before and they turned a really ugly green. The lime juice didn't help to preserve the color much.
I normally don't leave my comments, but for this one i will. THIS IS A WINNER! I made these and a few others for Easter and yes all gone. i didn't change anything, but I did accidentally forget to add the jalapenos but with the hot sauce I didn't notice. Check out my pic. As you will notice they are colored eggs for Easter of course. I used the dying instructions also on this site. I have been asked to make these again along with the other 2 deviled eggs prepared from this site as well. Shrimp n Bacon Cheddar Deviled eggs.
this is awesome!!! I put a little Apey kick to it and added more mayo, brown mustard , yellow mustard , white pepper , celery seed salt, and chopped up pickles n jalapeños :) def used bacon bits instead of turkey bacon and tipped it with paprika n Texas Pete
Used the same recipe. But added sriracha and wasabi sauce. Paprika for color. Came out really good.
This is the yummiest Deviled Egg recipe I have ever used! I didn't have cayenne pepper so I used paprika for the same effect. Thank-you for the great recipe!
This might be my new favorite! Very creamy filling, wonderful flavor combination. Plus the bonus leftover avocado/yolk has many uses. Thanks!
Delish! I used real bacon and pickled jalapeno slices for garnish. Made it chunky for a nice guacamole taste and appearance. Would definitely make this for a St Patty's Day party!
Huge hit...kiddo's ate even though "green" & spicy! No turkey bacon added to mix or as topping. Doubled the recipe.
Pretty good. It really was creamy. For our family, I would add more cayenne and maybe some more dashes hot pepper sauce. I like the idea of sriracha and wasabi, that someone else mentioned. But, I was out of jalapenos and that might have made the world of difference.
I love avocados and was raised on an avocado ranch many years ago.I think I will try this recipe but add some cooked brown rice and use the avocado shell instead of the egg white shell.I love deviled eggs so am anxious to try this recipe.
Sometimes a new take will expand upon something good, making everything better. Sometimes a new take involves removing the best parts, the yolk and mayonnaise, and substitute avocado. The end result is a sickly green paste, bereft of the familiar taste. These were pretty vile, but two family members were too kind to tell me otherwise.
This was a hit with a big crowd. I made these and traditional deviled eggs and the avocado eggs got snached up first. Made with Whole30 compliant bacon in place of turkey bacon. They were amazing.
making this for the 2nd time this week, I love it! only thing I did different was add chili powder instead of the cayenne and chopped jalapeños in the filling. This is a winner in my house!
Excellent recipe for those who like avocados. The directions are easy to follow and the end result is delicious . Mixes well with your left over hard boiled eggs.
Amazing. I omitted the hot sauce as I didn't have any on hand and didn't buy any. Just the right amount of heat. I also only put jalapenos on half for those that don't enjoy spicy. This are definitely my go to deviled eggs going forward.
A big hit! I've replaced my traditional deviled egg recipe with this one but with regular bacon instead of turkey bacon.
This was an excellent recipe. The texture of having diced avocados, mixed with a little tang of the lime juice, brought these deviled eggs to life!
These were great! Even my wife (who eats no "heat", ate these and loved them. Definitely will make again and again. When that avocado on the counter begins to get a little too soft, this makes a great use for it.
These were really good. I made the recipe for a tea party. My guests enjoyed the twist to the filling
These went over well at my New Year's party. Hot spices and I do not agree, so skipped them. Added a bit of extra bacon instead. You probably won't have any left over, but if you do, you might as well devour them. The avocado does not keep well. Will make them again!
I made this and I thought it was kinda bland tasting. I added salsa, garlic, and some Ms. Dash of choice. It was a hit.
I took these to a party and whereas I thought the jalapeno was an exciting new flavor, it turned off most folks. Those that ate them, took the jalapenos off.
Be careful! If you're not quick enough, you won't even get to taste these delectable little morsels of goodness. I made ~2.5 x the recipe....and, still only managed a wee-taste. Have been asked to make again....
I made it per the recipe to start, but found it pretty bland. Added some lime juice, hot sauce , and paprika. Still just okay. They have a very short shelf life because of the avocados.
I thought these were really good. I used regular bacon and garlic powder instead of fresh. You end up with leftover filling if you use all the yolks. If I made these again, I would probably cut the mayo at least in half, as it just needs a tad to make it creamier, but I didn't think it needed all that it called for.
I love this recipe. It makes a lot more filling than you need, but that just means there is more to snack on when done. My family also likes this. With a dash of hot sauce, there is a little heat with a lot of flavor. I didn’t make any variations.
I didn't have bacon but it was still good. People at the party said they liked it
This was absolutely delicious. The additional hot sauce dollop on top really makes it. I do not have any changes to the ingredient list, it was a pretty solid recommendation.
This recipe is delicious. I used 8 eggs because I thought the filling needed more yolk to balance the flavors. Additionally, they weren't spicy enough for our crowd so I sprinkled with a bit of crushed red pepper. It was a big hit at the picnic. I'll definitely be making these again.
If you are bored with regular deviled eggs, this will liven things up a bit. Was asked for the recipe several times already.
For this crew, I will have to spice it up a bit more next time. Other than that, it was enjoyed by all.
My wife is allergic to both onion and garlic, so the garlic was left out. Normally I would increase salt, and/or add chipotle or jalapeño pepper, as we both like spicy food, but I was not so sure about our company that would also be eating these. The end result was a fairly bland filling, that I was not totally impressed with. Notably, there were only 3 halves left, so somebody enjoyed them! I gave 4 stars because I'm pretty sure this would have absolutely tasted as good as it looked, and it looked great, with the addition of garlic.
Great twist on an old favorite. I left out the garlic and jalepeno and it was still stellar! I also used the egg yolks which this recipe does not mention
Made it for a party and everyone loved it. My daughter used some on toast for breakfast and looking forward to me making them again.
Delicious! My husband and kids gobbled them up! I did not do the bacon or jalapeño on top as my kids don’t like them and it was still great.
I was intrigued by this recipe because everyone loves avocados in my family, especially guacamole. So I loved the idea of a guacamole-like deviled egg. I skipped the bacon and didn't have any fresh jalapeños so I used a half cup of canned and added a little more lime juice. I threw everything in the Vitamix for a smooth mix. I also topped with paprika and fresh cilantro. Everyone raved about them! This will be a new staple I believe, especially come summer.
I was too generous with my mayo so the filling was too runny but still tasted good. I do not like hot foods so adjusted the spices. Bacon would have added flavor if I had some :(.
Great!! We went to a cookout and everyone loved this. I skipped the jalapenos, only because not everyone likes them. Thanks for sharing.
Followed the recipe, except I us d real bacon. Loved it, so did my guests. Very creamy, had a bit a kick to it with the hot sauce and the cayenne pepper. I didn't use jalapeños, only because I didn't have any.
Made these for Christmas last year and they were a big hit. I’d never used avocado before so they didn’t come out like I wanted but everyone loved them. Forgot to take pictures ??
My husband and I made this together for a St. Patrick’s Day party. Everyone loved it. We decided to use real bacon instead of turkey bacon but otherwise followed the recipe as it is written.
I colored my eggs, to make them Easter approved, loved this recipe. It was a hit!
I only made from three hard boiled eggs, cut the recipe in half. Very delicious! I plan on making these again.
I didn't use the peppers and I used bacon in the mix and for the topper. Delicious!
This was wonderfully smooth and rich. Yum just using the original recipe. Definitely I would make this again.
Brought these to a party and everyone, even the picky eaters, loved them. I didn't change anything but as other viewers have done, you can tweak the recipe in many ways, if you wish.
I love this take on “green eggs and ham”. I did use regular bacon rather than turkey. The sliced jalapeño on top added the perfect kick.
I liked this. However, I did not make it as written. I used only 5 eggs. I also cooked 4 slices of turkey bacon, because that was what was on hand. When I took the mayo out of the fridge, it was slightly past its due date... hmm. Take no chances with mayonnaise -- omitted it. Then I couldn't be bothered with the garlic -- lazy Sunday morning, I guess. I used only half of an avocado, again because that's what I had on hand. Fresh lime, yes. So I mashed all in the bowl as required, put a dollop on a cooked egg, and thought it was not too bad, considering I had scrimped and/or omitted ingredients. Will make again -- this time following the posted directions.
Maybe I did something wrong but to me these weren’t that great. Seemed a little runny and not super flavorful. I followed the recipe pretty closely except I added some additional hot pepper flakes. Even w that it was a little bland. I think there is too much mayo as the recipe is written. I read others skipped the mayo and added more avocado, and I would do that next time if I were to make this again. I’d still use a little mayo but just a little. Also, I served these right away so maybe they firm up more if refrigerated. Regardless, I wasn’t a fan of the flavor or consistency.
2.7.17 Used all of the yolks and loved the creaminess that the avocado brought to this deviled egg. I added a bit more lime juice and crushed garlic and a healthy shot of Sriracha to kick up the flavor. Used heart-shaped egg molds, since Valentine's Day is just around the corner, but those molds didn't work too terribly well. Very nice change from the traditional deviled egg, we enjoyed them.
