How To Make Avocado Deviled Eggs
To start, use the method above to boil the eggs. Crack them and make sure all shell is removed.
Next, cut the egg in half creating 12 servings of the avocado deviled eggs. Now, remove the egg yolks by simply dumping them into a bowl.
Then, add in half an avocado, mayo, mustard, lime or lemon juice, relish, salt and finally pepper for seasoning. Mix everything together as smoothly as possible. I used a spoon but I do say avoid a whisk because it’ll all just get stuck inside.
Lastly, spoon the filling back into the egg and garnish with paprika, pico de Gallo or bacon. Serve to family and friends, bring them to a potluck where you can stay eating healthy and no one will question you.
