If you’re looking for a new twist on a classic appetizer, these will undoubtedly fit the bill!

We love avocado so much. Our homemade guacamole is one of our most popular dishes to serve. We also absolutely loved homemade deviled eggs. When you bring the two together, you not only have a beautiful presentation, but you also have a scrumptious pop-in-your-mouth delight that friends and family will be raving about!

The Ingredients You Will Need

Most of what you need to make these wonderful treats you probably already have on hand.

Here’s What You’ll Need to Have on Hand

Eggs – We show you the foolproof way to hard-boil them in the recipe
Avocados – Ripe. Not too soft, but not too hard.
Lime – Juice from a nice plump one.
Shallot – Finely minced, or red onion, chopped.
Hot sauce – Such as Tabasco, Louisiana-Style, Cholula, or Tapatio.
Worcestershire sauce – Substitute fish sauce for an even deeper flavor.
Seasoning – Salt and pepper.
Mayonnaise – Store-bought or homemade.
Cilantro – Fresh, chopped.
Jalapeño – Seeded and finely chopped. Half for low heat, full pepper for medium heat.
Chives – Snipped, for garnish.
Toasted bread crumbs – See NOTES.

EXPERT TIP: The filling can be made up to 1 day in advance. Keep covered in the fridge until ready to use.

How To Serve

These are best served chilled, but it’s okay if they sit out for a couple of hours and become room temperature. They never last that long, anyway.

Prepare them up to 4 hours in advance and keep them covered with plastic wrap in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Don’t skip the toasted breadcrumbs. The added ‘crunch’ truly makes them irresistible.

EXPERT TIP: Don’t be afraid to pile the filling nice and high. We’ve used a pastry bag to pipe the filling in the eggs before, but, honestly, a spoon works better. If you have a little filling left over, don’t worry, it’s amazing as a dip or on toast or eggs.
