Ingredients

• Eggs
  • 6 large eggs
• Filling
  • 1 ripe avocado, peeled and pitted
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill

Instructions

1. Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover, remove from heat, and let stand for 10-12 minutes.

3. 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.

4. Spoon or pipe the green filling back into the egg white halves.

5. Garnish with extra herbs and a sprinkle of paprika or chili flakes, if desired.

6. Serve chilled.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

For a tangier filling, substitute Greek yogurt for mayonnaise. If you prefer a little heat, add a dash of your favorite hot sauce to the avocado mixture. To keep the filling bright green, add extra lemon juice and prepare the deviled eggs just before serving to prevent browning.

Varianten und Anpassungen

Try swapping fresh herbs to suit your taste, such as using parsley or basil instead of dill and chives. For a dairy-free option, choose a vegan mayonnaise. You can even experiment with different garnishes like toasted sesame seeds or finely chopped nuts for added texture.

Serviervorschläge

These deviled eggs pair beautifully with a crisp white wine like Sauvignon Blanc and are perfect for brightening up any spring party spread. Serve chilled alongside fresh vegetable crudités or a leafy green salad for a light and satisfying appetizer.
