Avocado Deviled Eggs

These Avocado Deviled Eggs are a fun and easy twist on the classic appetizer. They're creamy and flavorful, with a hint of avocado that makes them extra special. Perfect for any party or gathering, these deviled eggs are sure to be a hit.

Deviled eggs have been a staple of American parties for over a century, but they can often be bland and boring. In the 1950s, someone had the brilliant idea of adding avocado to the mix, and the Avocado Deviled Egg was born. This simple addition transforms the classic appetizer into something truly special. The avocado adds a creamy richness and a hint of sweetness that balances out the tangy mayonnaise and mustard. It's a combination that's both delicious and addictive.

Why It Works
