Deviled eggs are such a classic party food. They’re the perfect finger snack – easy to enjoy in a couple bites and not too messy – and they’re quick to whip up, too! At brunch recently I split an order of deviled eggs with my boyfriend, and I was reminded how much I love this dish. The rich filling is creamy with a nice tang of mustard, yet because this dish is usually served cold it never feels too heavy. The bacon sprinkled on top at this particular restaurant definitely didn’t hurt, either!
Shortly after, I decided to make my own version of deviled eggs, swapping out a few ingredients for an inventive new take on this classic dish. I subbed out mayo in favor of avocado, a true superfood. Avocados taste just as rich and creamy in this egg filling, yet they offer immense health benefits, including tons of potassium, fiber, and monounsaturated fats. Together, the eggs and avocado offer the perfect combination of protein and healthy fat for a truly satisfying and satiating snack. I also added a healthy dash of curry powder, along with the usual mustard, for another layer of rich, smoky flavor.
