Ingredients
- 12 large eggs
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- Grated zest of 1 lemon plus 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 avocado, diced
- Watercress leaves, for garnish
Instructions
- Fill a large saucepan with water and bring to a boil. With a ladle, slowly lower the eggs into the water one by one. Reduce the heat to a low boil and cook for 10 minutes. Drain.
- When the eggs are cool enough to handle, remove the shells. Slice each egg in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and place them in a food processor. Pulse the yolks in the food processor a few times. This will help incorporate the rest of the ingredients into the yolks easier. Arrange the whites cut-side up on a serving platter.
- To the food processor, add the mayonnaise, lemon zest and juice, mustard, salt, pepper and avocado. Process until well blended and smooth, then transfer to a resealable plastic bag. With scissors, snip off a bottom corner from the bag. Using the bag like a pastry bag, pipe the yolk mixture into the egg whites. Garnish with watercress. Serve immediately or cover loosely and chill until ready to serve.

Can’t say it’s my favorite. I think it’s a bit bland.
Really yummy but avocado turns color of eggs brown. Not appetizing looking…
Love it!!!
This recipe works great! It tastes delicious, and is super easy to make! Something I would make whenever an events comes up!
These were amazing. I used avocado Mayo to be a bit healthier. I have never made deviled egg using a food processor and I won’t go back to mixing by hand. The creamy texture is sublime.
Delicious and so fresh tasting. I loved the lemon flavor with avocado.
Good Good Good. Slathered extra mix on sliced Italian bread toast-yummy. Made it twice, second time with half the lemon. Both received great reviews from my parents. I preferred the halved amount. The creamy avocado does make a difference. Next time I plan to lessen the mayo to 1/3 cup.
To much lemon juice. Barely tasted the avocado. Easy to make.
I haven’t actually made these eggs yet. However I love avocados and the healthiness this adds to a deviled egg. Can’t wait to try it!
I tried this, and it was the highlight of our dinner. Yum! Thanks for the recipe!
