Fat Guacamole Devils
Breathing new life into a tried and true recipe is a simple way of adding variety to your diet. Take deviled eggs, for example. They’ve been around as long as any of us can probably remember, although you don’t see them at parties as often as you once did. It’s not because deviled eggs aren’t good, it’s just that they’re not that exciting anymore. You might, however, start seeing them served more often again if enough people see the recipe for Fat Guacamole Devils Tamara Baysinger entered in our Primal Blueprint Cookbook Challenge.
Her take on deviled eggs eliminates the mayonnaise and uses avocado instead. This loads the eggs with even more healthy fat and gives the filling a creamy, rich texture. A teaspoon or so of lime juice and hot sauce liven things up and just like that you’ve got a flavorful, interesting new take on a classic recipe.
While these deviled eggs aren’t quite bite-sized (they’re not called Fat Guacamole Devils for nothing) they’re definitely the type of finger food we love to snack on. We can imagine eating these eggs pretty much any time of day that hunger strikes. You can serve them as snack food at everything from dinner parties to Super Bowl parties. If you want to dress the little devils up for a party (or just add more flavor and fat) follow Tamara’s suggestion of garnishing the eggs with chopped olives or crumbled bacon. Other garnishes to consider are cilantro, a fresh herb that always goes well with avocado, and paprika, a spice typically used to top deviled eggs.

Whoa! Great idea!
Holy guacamole! This sounds outrageously tasty!
Thank you for this recipe. I will definitely try it.
Hey there! I just want to say that I love your blog/site, and have never commented before, but I never thought another person used this recipe but me:) eggs and avocados are a few of my favorite foods, and they just go great together! I’ve been slowly transitioning my diet to a more primal one the past year or so, and you’ve helped a lot. I love waking up in the morning and reading something new each day. So, thank you Mark for having your awesome site for everyone to learn and share ideas. I love cooking primal!
wow this sounds soooooooo good! i’ll be trying it soon!
Ingenious!
That looks AMAZING! I’ve been trying to think of new ways to take eggs for breakfast during the work week (I go to work super early and need something I can bring with me). This looks wonderful!!
Looks delicious!
Oh very yummy. I forgot I bought some Avocados last week. Thanks for the reminder. I think I might make 1/2 dozen of these tonight!
They taste as good as they look. I made them.

Those look amazing!
Ummm…I want to eat these NOW!
When I first began my primal journey (trek? epic quest?) I made something like this. I just made regular guacamole with onions and tomatoes and stuffed that in the egg whites. I like the idea of putting the yolks back in with the avocado. I think I just popped them in my mouth when I made them before.
yeah, those were yummy Caveman Sam.
Replace avocado with coconut oil/butter. Whoa!
I have to make this tonight! Hockey Night in Canada with some friends coming over…nothing but primal yummies and THIS will WOW them I am sure. Great, fresh and very simple idea. Well done…
Dude… Thanks for posting this!! There is nothing about this Primal Snack that isn’t awesome. I will have to make some of these bad boys tonight!
Avocados and fried eggs for breakfast with a touch of hot sauce. Been on my list of favs for the last 6 or 7 months. Love the idea of the deviled eggs.
I am happy to say that today I purchased a couple of avocados and have some lovely eggs in the frig.
These sound great!

Awesome!!
This is something that I should try sometime this week…
Can’t wait to try these!
OMG!!! That is genius!!!! Thxs!
How long have you been practicing the Primal Diet? You look great! I am planning on starting very soon. I have alot of “before” pics and I look at them and they give me motivation (they make me sad too lol) Do you have any tips or advice? Thanks! Michelle
Oh guacamole eggs, where have you been all my life?
My god they look delicious. I absolutely love Avocados. They’r easily one of my favourite foods. Great post!
These are definitely in our future.
Brilliant – and so simple. Come on, avocados… hurry up and ripen! I can’t wait to surprise Mr. Kitty with these gems.
My wife and I are hosting dinner tonight for two old friends of ours, and we have a 5-pound Mary’s Free-range Duck, chard greens with bacon, a butternut squash to make a delicious hot soup, and 2 bottles of Carmel Road Pinot Noir.
We were trying to think of what we can make for an appetizer, and then I read this post and the question to the meaning of life has been answered!
[Angel voices burst loudly, sunshine beams into my house]
These need to be served with some ham.
OMG those look amazing i never would have thought of that!
