Who knew that the classic deviled eggs could take on such a delightful twist? Today, I’m excited to share with you a recipe that’s as tasty as it is simple, making it a perfect snack or appetizer for any occasion. This recipe marries the creamy richness of avocado with the humble egg, creating a dish that’s not only easy to make but also a hit with everyone who tries it. Let’s dive into making these stuffed eggs, each batch boasting a unique topping for a little variety and a lot of flavors.
The Base: Avocado & Egg Delight
First, take six eggs and gently place them in a pot of water. Bring to a boil and let them cook for 8 minutes to achieve perfectly hard-boiled eggs. Meanwhile, take two ripe avocados and slice them open, discarding the pit. With a fork, mash the avocado in a bowl and spritz in the juice of half a lemon to keep that vibrant green color and add a zesty flavor.
Once your eggs are cooked and cooled, peel them and halve them lengthwise. Carefully remove the yolks and add them to the avocado mix. Here’s where the fun begins! Season with salt and black pepper to taste, and mash everything together until you have a smooth, creamy filling.
Three Delightful Toppings
To make each bite interesting, we’re creating three different toppings for our stuffed eggs. Divide the avocado and egg yolk mixture into three parts.
-
The Paprika Parade: To the first part, add a dash of red sweet paprika powder. This adds a smoky flavor and a vibrant color that makes the eggs visually appealing.
-
The Onion Crunch: Finely chop some onions and mix them into the second part. The crunch and sharpness of the onions provide a nice contrast to the creaminess of the avocado.
-
The Corn Fiesta: Stir in three tablespoons of canned corn to the third part of the mixture. The sweetness and texture of the corn make for a delightful surprise.
Stuffing the Eggs
Now, take your halved egg whites and stuff them with the mixture, alternating between the three toppings to create a colorful and appetizing display. Each bite offers a different flavor profile, making these stuffed eggs a true delight.

This recipe not only promises a delicious snack but also an easy and enjoyable experience in the kitchen. Whether you’re whipping up a quick bite for yourself or preparing a special treat for guests, these stuffed eggs with their trio of toppings are sure to impress. So, go ahead, give them a try, and watch as these become a favorite in your recipe collection.
