Ingredients

deviled eggs

  • 6 boiled eggs
  • 1 large avocado ripe
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon fresh finely chopped chives

garnish decoration

  • 12 long parsley stems garnish
  • tiny sprigs fresh herbs - thyme, parsley, carrot tops garnish
  • tiny flower s or petals edible flowers (research to be sure they are safe) garnish

Instructions

  • Boil, Instant Pot, or Steam boil method the eggs. Peel and slice the boiled eggs in half.
  • PRO TIP: Instead of scooping out the yolk with a spoon (which can tear the egg) gently push from the back of the egg and pop the yolk out!
  • In a bowl, add the yolks, and break up with a fork or spatula into fine crumbs (or they get caught in the tip of the piping bag), then add the fresh avocado, mayonnaise, lemon juice, sea salt, chives.
  • Mix until well combined with a hand mixer, or by hand (it just takes longer!) and load into a large zip log back fitted with a large star tip. PRO TIP: Make sure to break up all the egg yolks or they will get stuck in the piping tip. And use a large Mason jar to hold the piping bag while you fill it with a spatula.
  • Pipe the filling into the boiled eggshells, and garnish with long parsley stems for basket handles, a few tiny sprigs of herbs, microgreens, or edible flowers. Serve on a tray garnished with flowers and herbs. PRO TIP: Bend or crack the parsley stems to make them stay.

Notes

Egg Filling

  • Instead of scooping out the yolk with a spoon (which can tear the egg) gently push from the back of the egg and pop the yolk out!
  • Also, you can certainly mix the deviled egg filling with a spoon or whisk, but a hand mixer gives you a creamy fluffy texture that pipes beautifully.
  • Use a large gallon zip-top bag and large star tip to pipe the filling into the egg white shells, it looks gorgeous and professional.
  • Use a large Mason jar and drop your piping tip into a pastry bag or zip-top bag and fill with your deviled egg filling mixture. 

Make-Ahead Tip

Boil the eggs, slice in half, and keep them covered on a tray. Fill your ziptop bag with a piping tip, and have your tiny herb and flower pieces ready to go the day of your party, then assemble in minutes right before your guests arrive!

Edible Flowers

Where To Order Edible Flowers

  • Edible flowers can be ordered through the produce department of your local grocery store, gourmet markets, ordered online, or through Costco.
  • You can grow edible flowers in your garden, just be sure that they are organic, pesticide-free, and safe to eat as an edible flower.
  • Organic edible dried flowers are an option, look beautiful, and are available online.
For these cute deviled eggs for Easter, I used
  • parsley leaves
  • green carrot tops
  • thyme
  • strawberry flowers from my garden (that somehow survived through Winter!)
  • mini roses
  • dianthus petals
