Deviled eggs are one of my all-time favorite comfort foods, and since guacamole is another, it’s only natural to combine the two and get a third comfort food – Guacamole Deviled Eggs. They’re not quite guacamole and definitely taste different from classic deviled eggs. Avocado takes the place of mayonnaise and they have a bit of spiciness with the jalapeno.
Of course, these are green, pale green. Can’t help that – avocado will do that. Maybe they aren’t as pretty as classic deviled eggs, but they do taste good.
These make a great appetizer – I like my classic deviled eggs a bit better, but these are perfect for a fajita or taco party. Plus they are a healthier version (so you can eat more of them, right?). I always, always taste the yolk mixture before stuffing the eggs (with any deviled eggs) and adjust seasonings to get it absolutely perfect, and this is no exception.
Try these – they make a great addition to that game day party!
- 12 eggs, hard-boiled
- 1 large avocado (about 1 cup)
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
