Now that you know how to hard boil an egg, you’re going to love this delicious snack.
Guacamole Deviled Eggs are a great appetizer for your St. Patrick’s Day festivities, and even a great way to use up those dyed Easter Eggs!
I love me some deviled eggs at Easter time, but I’m not always crazy about all the mayo.
Avocados are always a great substitute for mayo because they are creamy, and full of great flavor.
In a classic deviled egg, you would also add a little mustard to give it a little tangy-ness.
In these Guacamole Deviled Eggs, the use of lime juice works double time for tangy-ness and also to help keep the bright green color of the avocado.
By using Gourmet Garden’s garlic and cilantro, these Guacamole Deviled Eggs come together in no time!
I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed this variation on the classic deviled egg. They are so fresh and tasty.
To make them look fancy, you can throw the filling in a frosting bag fitted with a star tip, then pipe the filling into the empty egg white.
Or you can just scoop the filling into the egg with a spoon. Either way it’s dang good.
I even had leftover filling that I spread on top of a piece of toast… heaven.
If you’re into a bit of a kick, sprinkle on some cayenne pepper – oh mama.
But if you’re serving it to a crowd, you might want to stick with some smoked paprika to give it a beautiful color and just a little hint of smokiness.

Just made these deviled eggs, and I should have made the batch of 18 eggs. They were very yummy! They were a hit at a party I attended tonight.
Instead of onion powder and salt, I used onion salt. My avocados were not ripe, so I used a potato masher. The batch turned out great!
Thanks for the tips on the yogurt substitution, I will have to try that out too.
Just bought some Avocadoes. Going to be making this over the weekend for a party.
Most people love my mustard based deviled eggs.
I’m choppin@ the bit to try the guacamole eggs.

Why not use REAL garlic and cilantro?? Out of a tube?? yuck!
Tim, it is REAL garlic and cilantro. Gourmet Gardens is super fresh herbs, no preservatives, and ultra convenient. I love their products, if you haven’t tried them, you really should.
These look amazing and delicious! Where do you get the Gourmet Garden tubes? Can’t wait to try these out for Easter!!
I am not a mayo person, either. I make an avocado egg salad sandwich with similar ingredients. I never thought of filling the eggs. Thanks for the inspiration!
I could also see these being a lovely Cinco De Mayo treat…
I made these today and they were delicious! My husband loves avocado and he went crazy over these! Thanks for posting!
My favorite food is avocados so I had to make these! They are so unbelievably good!! Even my boyfriend who hates deviled eggs Loves them!
Looks delicious, I have to mix it together yolks and avocado ?
Yup! The avocado is basically a healthier substitution for the mayo in a classic deviled egg.
I try to sub avocado for mayo in almost everything (or greek yogurt) I love your photo of the avocado and eggs halves. Great post!
Thanks Betsy! I do the same thing with avocado and greek yogurt… I’m not a huge mayo fan. 🙂
