→ Filling

02 - 1 ripe avocado, peeled and pitted
03 - 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
04 - 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
05 - 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

02 - Transfer eggs to an ice bath to cool completely. Peel the eggs and slice in half lengthwise.
03 - Gently scoop out the yolks into a medium bowl. Add avocado, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, chives, dill, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mash and mix until smooth and creamy.
04 - Spoon or pipe the green filling back into the egg white halves.

06 - Serve chilled and enjoy immediately.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • They look impossibly elegant and Instagram-worthy, yet require almost no culinary skills to pull off.
  • The creamy avocado cuts through any heaviness and makes these feel lighter than traditional deviled eggs.
  • Fresh herbs bring a garden-fresh brightness that makes spring parties actually taste like spring.
02 -
  • Avocado oxidation is real and it's relentless—that squeeze of extra lemon juice isn't just flavor, it's insurance against browning, so don't skip it.
  • Overboiling eggs is the silent killer of perfectly cooked yolks, so set a timer and stick to it like your reputation depends on it.
03 -
  • Make a tiny slit in the lemon and squeeze it into the avocado mixture first, before mashing, to coat everything immediately and prevent browning.
  • If you're assembling these more than 30 minutes ahead, press plastic wrap directly onto the filling surface to create a moisture barrier that keeps oxidation at bay.
