Devilishly Different Green Deviled Eggs

Devilishly Different Green Deviled Eggs

I was bored with traditional deviled eggs and had been trying to find more ways to cook with avocados. I made these for a Kentucky Derby party and all 24 were gone within minutes! Next time I will need to make a double batch.

Yield:
24 deviled eggs
Servings:

Ingredients

  • 12 eggs
  • 2 avocados – halved, pitted, and mashed
  • 1 small white onion, diced
  • 1 plum (Roma) tomato, seeded and diced
  • 3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
  • 2 teaspoons chopped garlic
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 24 pickled garlic cloves (such as Sonoma Farm Tex-Mex Sweet & Hot Garlic Cloves®)
  • 8 pickled jalapeno pepper slices, minced

Directions

Step 1
Place eggs in a saucepan; cover with water. Bring to a boil, remove from heat, and let eggs stand in hot water for 15 minutes. Remove eggs from hot water, cool under cold running water, and peel.

Step 2
Stir together mashed avocado, onion, tomato, cilantro, lime juice, jalapeno, and chopped garlic; season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate guacamole, tightly covered, for 1 hour.

Step 3
Drain pickled garlic cloves and minced pickled jalapeno on a plate lined with paper towels.

Step 4
Cut each egg in half lengthwise; set yolks aside for another use. Clean away any remaining yolk from egg white halves with a wet paper towel. Place egg whites cut-side up on a serving platter.

Step 5
Spoon a generous amount of guacamole into each egg white half; top each deviled egg with a pickled garlic clove. Sprinkle minced pickled jalapeno, salt, and black pepper over deviled eggs.

Cook’s Notes:

The guacamole and eggs can be made a day ahead. If making guacamole the day before, make sure you store in an air-tight container. You will likely have some guacamole left over; sometimes I double the ingredients to make sure I have plenty for guacamole and chips.
