A fun and creamy twist on classic deviled eggs featuring a smooth avocado filling shaped into Baby Yoda’s ears and eyes, perfect for parties and casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
  • 1 ripe avocado, mashed
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a lighter filling)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Chives, finely chopped, for garnish
  • Black olives, sliced for Baby Yoda’s eyes (optional)
  • Tiny pieces of green bell pepper or snap peas for ears

Instructions

  1. Place 6 large eggs in a single layer in a medium saucepan. Cover with cold water by about an inch. Bring water to a rolling boil over high heat, then remove from heat, cover, and let sit for 12 minutes.
  2. Transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool for 5 minutes.
  3. Gently tap the eggs on a hard surface to crack the shell, then peel under running water to remove the shell cleanly without damaging the whites.
  4. Slice each egg in half lengthwise. Remove yolks carefully and place them in a mixing bowl. Set the whites aside on a platter.
  5. Mash one ripe avocado in the bowl with the egg yolks using a fork until smooth but slightly chunky.
  6. Add 2 tablespoons mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, and 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly until creamy and well combined.
  7. Using a spoon or piping bag, fill each egg white half generously with the avocado-yolk mixture, shaping it slightly rounded on top to create Baby Yoda’s face base.
  8. Cut small triangles from green bell pepper or snap peas for ears and insert them gently on each side of the filling.
  9. Use sliced black olives for eyes, placing small slices carefully on the filling surface. Use tweezers or a toothpick for precision if desired.
  10. Sprinkle finely chopped chives around the eggs for garnish.
  11. Refrigerate the deviled eggs for at least 15 minutes before serving to let flavors meld and the filling firm up slightly.

Notes

Use ripe but firm avocados to avoid mushy filling. Add a teaspoon of water or more lemon juice if filling is too thick. Use a piping bag for a cleaner finish. Eggs that are at least a week old peel easier. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Add ears and eyes just before serving to keep fresh.
