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.

I made these myself. I found that adding in very finely chopped jalapeno to be better than hot sauce. Also, topping it with some paprika or whatever other spice/herb is great.
These sound great, I’ve got to try them.
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
One of my favorite recipes! I made it except I doubled the recipe (what do you do with the other half of the avocado) and added tomato and bacon. Check it out: http://www.jesliao.com/2011/08/guacamole-deviled-eggs-with-bacon.html
Thanks for the inspiration Mark!
My wife and I are taking these and the walnut crust pie to the family Thanksgiving Feast. If they go over well I might sell the fam on Primal eating. If they go over poorly there will be more for me. I see no downside.
Delicious!!! I just made these this evening, inspired by Easter tomorrow. I looove deviled eggs, but these just might be even better! I used lemon instead of lime juice just because that’s what I had available… added a teaspoon or a little less of honey to keep the avocado nice and bright green (since these won’t be eaten until tomorrow, I don’t want them getting brown!)…went maybe a little extra on the hot sauce… and OMG they are Goooooood
Thank you!
Add some crispy cut up little pieces of bacon. So divine.
I added cayenne pepper in lieu of hot-sizzle…. delicious! (any estimate on nutritional info of a six pack of these li’l guy’s? can’t be more than 3000% recommended daily fat intake, right?)
