Avocado Guacamole Deviled “Eggs”

This recipe will add a different splash of color to your Sunday morning brunch menu.  Rather than the standard yellow yokes that are usually piped into egg whites,  I decided to mix things up and use guacamole.

Avocados, much like bananas, mature on the tree but ripen only after their harvest. Once ripe, they turn dark green or deep purple and yield to gentle pressure. Inside, they have a cream color flesh with a butter-like consistency.

One trick that I use when selecting avocados at the grocery store is that I pop the little stem button off.  If there is a nice bright green color under it, it is ripe and ready for use.  I have tried to “squeeze” technique, but my best luck comes from the stem plucking. :)

It may be ideal always to buy organic, but you don’t have to with avocados. So far none are GMO, and the Environmental Working Group (EWG) has non-organic avocados in their “clean 15” list with mostly no detectable pesticide residue (http://www.ewg.org/foodnews/).

Avocados often receive a bad rap for being too high in fat. While it is true that avocados are a high-fat food (about 85% of its calories come from fat), they are nutrient-dense calories, and the fat contained in avocado provides many health benefits.

Avocados have an abundance of plant phytonutrient polyphenols and flavonoids, which have been discovered as anti-inflammatory agents.  They help keep inflammation under control, which is considered the basis of most non-contagious diseases.  Nutrients and enzymes in avocados also help to reduce inflammation in the stomach and small intestine’s mucous lining.

It has been shown that those who ate salads with avocados absorbed five times the amount of carotenoids than those who did not include avocados.  Carotenoids help to reduce stroke and prostate cancer risks.   Often we get so focused on what foods we shouldn’t combine when eating for digestive purposes, that we lose sight of those that we ought to combine to help with better vitamin and mineral absorption.

Ingredients:

Yields roughly 24 half “eggs.”

“Egg whites”:

Avocado guacamole yolk:

Preparation:

“Egg whites”:
  1. I used mold similar to (this one) for the eggs.
  2. Place the almond milk, agar, and salt in a small saucepan.  Turn the heat on medium-high and whisk until it starts to bubble.  Reduce the heat to medium and continue to whisk for 4 minutes.  We need to make sure the agar dissolves.
  3. Working quickly, pour the mixture into a measuring cup with a pour spout.  Then fill each egg cavity with agar.   Don’t stop during this process or the mixture will start to gel up.  If this happens, return the mixture to the saucepan and heat it back up until melted.
  4. Place the molds in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
  5. Once they are firm, using a 1/4 tsp round measuring spoon, scoop out a small half circle on the fullest part of the “egg.”  Set aside to make the filling.

Avocado guacamole yolk:

  1. Place the avocado, lime juice, salt, onion, and garlic powder in the blender and blend until smooth.
  2. Place the mixture in a piping bag fitted with a star tip.   Place the tip in the hole you created and pipe the yolk mixture onto the egg in a swirling fashion.
  3. Sprinkle with paprika and serve.

    2 questions…..

    Why buy the salt ‘coarse’ rather than ‘fine’?

    Have you ever tried making the ‘whites’ with sunflower seed milk rather than almond? Have a little friend that is deathly allergic to nuts.

    Looks interesting. Can’t wait to try it.

    • amie-sue says:

      You can buy the fine salt Gloria and no I haven’t tried with any other nut or seed. Worth experimenting with to accommodate your friend. Sorry to hear that they have such a horrible allergy. Have a blessed day, amie sue

        Sorry for the double post. When I came back to check, the first post didn’t appear. Feel free to delete the 2nd post.

    Looks really interesting. Thank you!

    Have you ever tried making the egg whites with sunflower seed milk vs the almond? Wondering how it would affect the taste.

    Also, is there a particular reason to buy kala namak as coarse vs fine?

    Thanks.

    Hello, where might I find the “egg” molds?

    Hi Amy, please you used sweet almond milk in this or not? :)

    I’m about to cry, wow. I am so thankful for you.

  9. Gayle says:

    How far in advance could these be made? Or at least the “egg whites”?

    • amie-sue says:

      I would make them either 1 or 2 days before the event… the closer you make them to the even the better for freshness. Have a great evening, amie sue

      • Gayle says:

        These turned out delightful!

        • amie-sue says:

          Good afternoon Gayle,

          I am sorry that it took me a bit to respond to you. I have been on a “walk about” for the past 6 weeks (see blog posting). I am not fully integrating back into things but I wanted to start tackling some of the questions that have been collecting. :) All that to say, I appreciate your patience with me. :)

          So happy to hear it! Have a blessed day :) amie sue
