Print Recipe

A creamy, vibrant deviled egg recipe featuring avocado and fresh dill, perfect for parties and gatherings. Quick and easy to prepare with a fresh, garden-inspired flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large eggs, hard-boiled
  • 1 ripe avocado, mashed
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 small clove garlic, minced (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Pinch of smoked paprika, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Place 12 large eggs in a single layer in a large pot. Cover with cold water about 1 inch above eggs. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
  2. Once boiling, cover the pot, remove from heat, and let sit for 10 minutes.
  3. Drain hot water and immediately transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water. Let cool for at least 5 minutes.
  4. Peel eggs gently by tapping and rolling them on the counter, then peeling under running water to remove stubborn bits.
  5. Slice eggs in half lengthwise. Carefully scoop out yolks into a mixing bowl.
  6. Add mashed avocado to the yolks and mash together with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth but still a little chunky.
  7. Stir in mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, minced garlic (if using), and chopped fresh dill.
  8. Season with salt and pepper to taste and mix well until combined into a creamy, bright green filling.
  9. Using a spoon or piping bag, fill each egg white half with the avocado-yolk mixture.
  10. Lightly dust the tops with smoked paprika and garnish with small dill sprigs if desired.
  11. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use older eggs (about a week old) for easier peeling. If filling is too thick, add a splash of olive oil or extra mayonnaise to loosen. Peeling eggs under running water helps remove shell bits. Chilling for at least 20 minutes helps flavors meld and filling firm up. Variations include swapping dill for tarragon, chives, or cilantro, and using vegan mayo for dairy-free option.
