Lime Guacamole Deviled Eggs
Which is why I love these Lime Guacamole Deviled Eggs today! Think Easter, or for Cinco de Mayo coming up … they have a Mexican spin (using my favorite beloved avocados).
One option is cook the eggs ahead in an instant pot. [Check out Skinnytaste’s How to make perfect eggs in the Instant Pot.]
Or use my simple stovetop method. It’s worked perfectly every time.
Allow the eggs to cool, and then make the center ahead.
Prepare a couple hours before the guests arrive … that is, if there are any eggs left. This Creamy Deviled Eggs Appetizer Recipe always gets devoured – fast!
I love deviled eggs!
Last week my daughter met us in New York City for a few days, and we got to tour the Food Network at Chelsea Market. We found out they are moving out of that space, which is sort of sad to me. But anyway, it was a lovely time. Rachael Ray was there doing a Facebook live, and we moseyed around and got a tour from my friend Chef Rob’s sous chef, Miriam.
They were recipe testing, and a lot was happening in that space, all at the same time.
We got to sample a few tater tots, and see the cover of this month’s magazine, covered with … deviled eggs!
Delicious bites all year long
Deviled eggs are the most-searched recipe in May and June, and then for the Fourth of July and Thanksgiving (says Food Network).
Which proves my point … people love these precious little bites all year long.

Great
great tweak on the traditional deviled egg recipe, with a nice acid addition in the lime to cut, what to me, is often over the top creaminess with mayo, etc in the original
Hmmmm…I’m not sure I could mess with deviled eggs….but I’ve seen some recipes that make it tempting….lol.
I could do some serious damage on a platter of these gorgeous eggs! And what a fun adventure at Chelsea Market :)
