Avocado Deviled Eggs {5-ingredient}

It’s the week of Christmas, so do you know what you’ll be making? How about Avocado Deviled Eggs? After all, they’re a delicious (and nutritious) crowd-pleasing, hand-held appetizer. When growing up, my grandma used to make Deviled Eggs for family gatherings. This year, we are not able to get together with groups due to the pandemic, but that does not mean we cannot have some of our favourite traditional foods.

Here are the ingredients for the Avocado Deviled Eggs

For these Avocado Deviled Eggs, I recommend prepping the hard-cooked eggs in advance. After all, this takes only about 10 minutes and you can see how to do it in my previous recipe post, Hard-Cooked Eggs to Perfection. You can store hard-cooked eggs in the fridge for up to seven days, so they are an ideal make-ahead or meal-prep option.

Hard-cooked Eggs Recipe

I chose to add avocado to bring that festive green hue. Also, avocado boosts our healthy monounsaturated fats, which are good for cholesterol lowering and reducing inflammation. We also receive vitamin A, folate, vitamin C and potassium. Finally, many do not know that avocados are a great source of fibre with 7 grams in half a fruit.
