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.

Looks great. I will be trying this one soon. I often eat deviled eggs. My wife loves them and it’s quick if I’m in a hurry to leave. I have been recently just using mayo, dijon mustard and adding hemp seeds for a nice crunch.
I’m going to have to try those!
Hey, cool! What fun to come home after a primally-fueled weekend vacation to discover my recipe here. Thanks, Mark!

Just made these little devils. They’re awesome – I added a little red onion, too.
guacamole, hot sauce, and eggs!
that’s music to my primal texan ears. guacamole and hot sauce are like water and oxygen in the south.
i can’t wait to try these bad boys tomorrow.
Made these yesterday. Fast, easy, awesome.
Two of my favorite foods in an easy snack form. What more could you want? I’ll be trying these tonight!
Wow…two of my favorite appetizers. It was staring me in the face all along.
Definitely making a batch for the Super Bowl!
We always add curry powder (Madras is the best!) to our deviled eggs. Alot of curry! Yum!
Mark, I thought I saw a comment you made concerning Tourette’s Syndrome and lesions on the CNS. I have suffered from TS (and ADHD and depression) since I was 1 year old. Do you have more information about TS? I’ve never seen anything online about a TS/CNS/lesions? Thanks.
These look like the perfect snack; can’t wait to try them. Thanks!
Wow… very well done. I wasn’t looking for a new way to eat eggs, but any new way to add guacamole to a meal is a good one.
Yup, it does cry out for a side of ham to go with it. But, seriously, what a perfect idea~ combining two of the best foods, eggs & avocado. I can’t wait to make it.
Wow! These will be my addition to the superbowl party!
OMG, that’s fabulous! My husband is a huge fan of deviled eggs, so these and some ham or bacon will find their way on to our Super Bowl menu. Genius!
I will try them at lunch.
Thanks for the information
Wow! Tried these tonight and all I have to say is YUM! I am just starting my foray into the Primal way of life, and this was my first official jump in that direction. I am also making a meatloaf (although I am stuffing it in green bell peppers) that I found on the site for dinner tonight. So far, so good!
Just made these! AMAZING!!!!
Whoa! Dude! more Synchronicity!!! This recipe is worth finding this site!!! I’ve just started checking this place out and already got my 1′s and 0′s worth!!
Bet this could be made into an incredible egg salad recipe….hum…
im in the process of boiling my eggs as we speak!
er i should say type xD
Yummy, looks good! A recipe with a good dose of healthy fats from avocado and choline from egg yolks.
I absolutely love the recipes on your site! Whenever I need a bit of food variety I know I can count on Mark’s Daily Apple.
I always like different textures – so I tried to add bacon. I added bacon with the avocado and egg yolks to add a salty taste. And then crumbled bacon on top. Check out my recipe at cavemengourmet.com
Woops – here’s the link

This is one good information for everyone. I usually spend not much on massage because coz I’m kinda managing my finances. What we all need is a reasonable price with excellent and quality service.nike air Jordan
I added a pinch of cayenne pepper powder to give it slow and lasting kick. Applying lime on top in the end helps keep it from turning brown sooner.
ok i heard about this site on the radio the other night so i might be trying this diet very soon, and i totally lve this snack idea plus avacodos are super high in monounsaturated fatty acids which is good to help lose belly fat! i might put some nuts with it too
For some extra kick add bacon and sprinkle with red pepper flakes.
