Print Recipe

A creamy, keto-friendly twist on classic deviled eggs using avocado mayo for a rich, flavorful, and healthy snack or appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
  • 1 medium ripe avocado, mashed
  • 2 tablespoons keto-friendly mayonnaise (e.g., avocado oil mayo)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, plus extra for garnish
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Chives or fresh parsley, finely chopped for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place 6 large eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by about an inch (approximately 1 cup). Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, then cover and remove from heat. Let the eggs sit for 10-12 minutes.
  2. Drain the hot water and immediately transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water. Let them chill for at least 5 minutes to stop cooking and make peeling easier. Gently tap and peel each egg, rinsing off any shell bits.
  3. Slice each egg in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out the yolks into a mixing bowl. Add 1 ripe mashed avocado, 2 tablespoons of keto-friendly mayo, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, and salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Use a fork or small whisk to mash and blend the yolk and avocado mixture until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  5. Spoon or pipe the creamy mixture back into the hollowed egg whites. If using a piping bag, a star tip creates a pretty presentation, but a spoon works perfectly well.
  6. Sprinkle the filled eggs with a pinch of smoked paprika and some finely chopped chives or parsley for color and flavor. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.

Notes

Use ripe avocados for a creamy filling. Older eggs peel easier than fresh ones. Refrigerate deviled eggs for at least 15 minutes before serving to let flavors meld. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days. For dairy-free, use avocado oil mayo or blend avocado with olive oil. Variations include adding cayenne pepper for spice or smoked salmon topping for a fancy twist.
