What You Will Need
Eggs. You will need eggs to make the deviled eggs, that’s a given, but with this recipe idea, we made double to have enough for the deviled eggs and the deviled egg dip. Dip to me one more time!
Avocado & Lime Juice. Adding avocado makes the filling for these deviled eggs so dreamy and creamy. I added a bit of lime for two reasons; to keep the avocado from developing an off-color and to brighten the eggs with a bit of citrus.
Cheese. Who doesn’t like cheese and eggs? This classic is an old favorite and works just as well in a dip. We used mild white cheddar, but other cheese options are a solid choice too.
Try:
- gouda or smoked gouda
- asiago
- parmesan
Celery, Celery Leaves & Carrots. The celery and carrots add a bit of textural contrast, and the celery leaves add a bit of color, but you can also add:
- cilantro
- parsley
- arugula
Smoked Paprika, Sea Salt, Cracked Peppercorns. Now, we have arrived at the savory side of this recipe and have lots of big complimentary flavors like smoked paprika and sea salt. I highly recommend a finishing salt like Maldon and freshly cracked black peppercorns.
Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Adding a bit of EVOO keeps things silky smooth and adds some floral notes, but you can use other healthy oil as well, like:
- avocado oil
- grapeseed oil
- sunflower oil
