These avocado deviled eggs are a delicious and healthy alternative to the classic recipe. They feature a creamy filling made with avocado, lime, cilantro and paprika – no mayo needed!
Add eggs into a medium pot and cover them with cool water by 1 inch. Bring water to a boil over medium-high heat; when the water has reached a boil, cover and remove from heat. Let sit for 12 minutes.
Once the time is up, transfer the eggs to a colander under cool running water or a bowl full of ice water to stop the cooking.
Split hard boiled eggs in half lengthwise with a knife.
Remove yolks from the eggs, adding them to a medium mixing bowl.
Add avocado, 1 Tablespoon lime juice, cilantro, garlic powder and salt to the bowl with the yolks. Smash everything together with a fork. If the mixture seems too dry add another 1/2 Tablespoon lime juice. Season with pepper to taste.
Fill each hard boiled egg white with the avocado mixture using a spoon. Alternatively, you can add the yolk mixture to a piping bag or plastic bag and cut the corner off to create a piping bag. When ready to serve, pipe the filling into the eggs.Garnish with additional cilantro and smoked paprika. Enjoy!
