The Kitchn: Egg salad meets avocado and becomes a delicious holiday appetizer
Do you love all things breakfast-related? If so, have I got the deviled eggs of your dreams.
Imagine egg salad became friends with avocado toast, and then everything bagel spice came to join the party. These deviled eggs get richness, velvety texture and vivid color from ripe avocado, and the sprinkling of nutty, toasty everything bagel spice on top adds just the right amount of crunch and savory flavor. They really don't take much more effort than your standard deviled eggs, and you might like them so much that they become your go-to recipe.
Tasty tips
1. The mini food processor is the way to go to really turn the egg yolks, avocado (make sure it's ripe!), mayonnaise and other ingredients into a super creamy, velvety filling. If you don't have one, just mash everything together; the deviled eggs will still be delicious.
2. The piece de resistance of these deviled eggs is the everything bagel spice that crowns the top. This popular spice blend is pretty easy to find now; I like the version at Trader Joe's. You can also make your own if you want to control the salt or other spices and seeds in the blend.
3. If you have a pressure cooker or Instant Pot, use it for deviled eggs! The steam pressure makes boiled eggs that practically fall out of their shells, eliminating the frustration and waste of dented egg whites that you might not deem pretty enough to serve.
