🥚 Guacamole Deviled Eggs Recipe
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs 🥚
- 1 ripe avocado 🥑
- 1 tbsp fresh lime juice 🍋
- 1 tbsp red onion, finely chopped 🧅
- 1 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped 🌿
- ½ small jalapeño, finely minced (optional) 🌶️
- ½ tsp garlic powder 🧄
- Salt & black pepper to taste 🧂
- Optional garnish: paprika, cilantro leaves, or a slice of jalapeño 🌱
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions (Expanded)
- Boil the eggs:
Place eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover with water by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the pot, turn off the heat, and let sit for 10–12 minutes. - Cool and peel:
Drain hot water and transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water. Let sit for 5–10 minutes to cool. Then peel the shells under running water and pat the eggs dry. - Halve and remove yolks:
Slice each egg lengthwise. Gently pop the yolks out into a mixing bowl and place the white halves on a serving tray. - Prepare the guacamole filling:
- Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into the bowl with the egg yolks.
- Add lime juice, garlic powder, chopped onion, cilantro, jalapeño (if using), salt, and pepper.
- Mash and mix everything together until creamy but slightly chunky. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Fill the egg whites:
Spoon or pipe the guacamole mixture into the center of each egg white half. You can use a small spoon or a piping bag with a star tip for a fancy finish. - Garnish and serve:
Top each deviled egg with a sprinkle of paprika, a cilantro leaf, or a tiny slice of jalapeño for visual flair and extra flavor. Serve immediately or chill up to 2 hours before serving.

🧊 Make-Ahead & Storage Tips
- ✅ Make-ahead tip: Hard-boil eggs and prepare the guac separately. Assemble just before serving to prevent browning.
- ✅ Short-term storage: Store assembled eggs in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 day.
- ✅ Prevent browning: Cover tightly with plastic wrap pressed against the surface of the filling.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the guacamole filling in advance?
Yes, but guacamole can brown quickly. Add extra lime juice and store in a container with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface.
What’s the best way to pipe the filling?
Use a piping bag with a star tip or a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off for a clean, decorative finish.
Can I use store-bought guacamole?
Absolutely—just mix it with the egg yolks for a creamy texture, and adjust seasoning to taste.
