Allergy Substitutions
Make sure that the mayonnaise that you use is safe for you to enjoy! My personal favorite is Sir Kensington’s since it is free from: gluten, dairy, soy, nuts, celery, mustard and so much more! They also make an avocado mayonnaise that is paleo and keto certified that is also free from sunflower oils.
If you can’t find a mayonnaise that you like, you can also swap it for a spoonful of greek yogurt, or omit it entirely and add more avocado.
Instructions
For the full instructions, complete with measurements, please see the recipe card below!
Begin with making the hard boiled eggs. Place your eggs in a medium pot and cover with about an inch of cool water. Sprinkle heavily with salt. This helps them to peel easier and will flavor the eggs while cooking, making for more flavorful eggs!
Bring the water to boil over a medium-high heat. Let the eggs boil for about 11 minutes, making sure to turn the stove down to a medium-low temperature.
After 11 minutes, drain the water and place the eggs in a cold water ice bath.
When they are cool, gently crack each egg and peel them. Slice the eggs in half, placing the egg yolks into a medium bowl. Set the egg whites aside on a plate or serving platter.
Into the bowl, add the avocado and mash the yolks and avocado together with a fork. Add the mayonnaise. Sprinkle it with salt and pepper to taste.
Transfer the yolk filling to a piping bag and snip off about a half inch of the tip. You want a decent sized opening for the filling to come out and you don’t want it to get stuck! If you don’t have a piping bag, a plastic bag will also work.
Squeeze the filling amount you want into each of the egg white halves. I like to be a little generous with each egg and really fill them up! Repeat until the eggs are all filled. Alternatively, you can also just use a spoon to fill them up, creating a more rustic look. This is typically what I do.
Now for the fun part! Top with the toppings of your choice. Everything bagel seasoning is my hands down favorite thing! Chives, dill, cilantro, paprika, and just more salt are also delicious options.
What to serve
Deviled eggs are such a classic appetizer. My family loves them at most of our holiday parties, or anytime we get together. I think these would be delicious when served alongside gluten free chex mix, a 3 ingredient fruit dip, or gluten free mozzarella sticks!
For a fun twist, make this into a mustard free egg salad sandwich by mashing the entire egg, not just the egg yolk, and mixing it with the remaining ingredients. Pop it onto your favorite bread and enjoy!
FAQ
Is this recipe keto friendly?
Yes! Thanks to avocados and mayo with the eggs, this is a keto friendly recipe.
Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes! Hard boiled eggs left in their shells can be boiled up to one week in advance of serving. You can make the filling the morning of when you want to serve them.
What is the best way to peel a hard boiled egg?
I find the easiest way is to begin by gently tapping the top and bottom of the egg on a hard surface like a table or countertop. Next, roll the egg on the table. This should cause cracks over the entirety of the egg. Find a spot where there seems to be an air bubble and begin to peel from there. If you have a trouble spot, dunk the egg under water to have the water get between the egg and the shell.
Finally, older eggs will peel easier than fresh eggs.
How to Store
Fridge: Take any leftovers and store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Any beyond that and the eggs will not be good. Some browning of the yolks may occur as the avocado oxidizes with the air. This is normal and is still safe to eat. Store them in a single layer as you can’t really stack these on top of each other.
Freezer: You can’t freeze this recipe.
Variations
Make them guacamole inspired eggs by adding cilantro, hot sauce or cayenne pepper, and minced red onion to the egg yolk mixture.
Add bacon, sriracha, chives, jalapeno, or any number of herbs like dill, cilantro, or tarragon to make them your favorite way!
