Avocado Deviled Eggs Notes

- Make sure your avocado is ripe. It must be ripe in order for you to get that creamy texture for this recipe.

FAQs
How many eggs will this recipe make?
You’ll have 12 deviled eggs when following this recipe. However, if you need more than that, simply double the recipe.
Do I need to use fresh lemon juice?
It’s best to use fresh lemon juice. If possible, slice a lemon in half and then squeeze out a tablespoon of the juice for your mixture. You’ll also use the lemon peel to get the zest for these eggs. You can use bottled lemon juice if you don’t have a lemon.

What other seasonings would go well with these eggs?
You can use everything but the bagel, chili lime, or any other seasoning that you personally enjoy and would normally put on egg salad or deviled eggs. Get as creative as you’d like. However, these Avocado Deviled Eggs truly don’t need much else because they’re full of flavor.
