Print Recipe

A quick, healthy, and protein-packed twist on classic deviled eggs using creamy avocado instead of mayo and topped with smoky smoked salmon. Perfect for brunch, snacks, or appetizers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
  • 1 medium ripe avocado, mashed
  • 3 ounces smoked salmon, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons plain full-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped (optional)
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Pinch of smoked paprika for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place 6 large eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by about an inch. Bring to a boil over high heat, then cover the pot and remove from heat. Let eggs sit for 10-12 minutes.
  2. Transfer eggs to ice water for 5 minutes to stop cooking and make peeling easier.
  3. Gently crack the shells and peel the eggs under running water if needed. Slice each egg in half lengthwise and carefully remove the yolks, placing them in a mixing bowl. Set the whites on a serving plate.
  4. Add the mashed avocado, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice to the bowl with the yolks. Mash together with a fork or potato masher until smooth but still a bit chunky.
  5. Season the mixture with salt, pepper, and half the fresh dill. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  6. Use a small spoon or piping bag to fill each egg white half with the avocado-yolk mixture.
  7. Tear or slice the smoked salmon into small pieces and place a bit on top of each filled egg.
  8. Sprinkle with remaining fresh dill and a pinch of smoked paprika for color and smoky flavor.
  9. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving to let flavors meld.

Notes

Use eggs about a week old for easier peeling. Do not over-mash avocado to keep some texture. Assemble just before serving to prevent avocado browning. Substitute Greek yogurt with dairy-free yogurt for a dairy-free option. Smoked salmon can be replaced with cooked shrimp, crab, or bacon. Adding lemon juice helps slow avocado browning.
