Hi! Hi! And Happy Monday. Do you remember a couple weeks back when I made you Butternut Squash and Maple Empanadas ?
The Casual Veggie Cookbook
This is a extensive compilation that features over 150 veggie-centric recipes from 45 food bloggers. Each of the 29 most common veggies from asparagus to eggplant to Brussels sprouts have their own chapter with details on how to buy, store, and cook them. The digital format is easy to navigate from any device but all the recipes are also printable so you don’t have to take your iPad into the kitchen if you don’t want to. {This book is no longer available} right here from my site and every copy of the book bought from ¡Hola! Jalapeño helps support my blog, which means more delicious recipes for you…and maybe a glass of wine for me, I won’t lie. To purchase your very own copy click on the image of the book on the right-hand side of this page!
To celebrate several of us contributors are throwing a virtual party full of autumn nibbles and drinks.
Click on the links below to find all the details. My contribution to the shindig is a combination of everyone’s two favorite hors d’oeuvres; Deviled Eggs and Guacamole to make the world’s best guacamole deviled eggs (in my opinion). If the words deviled eggs have you thinking gloppy mayo-laden gut bombs then think again. These are light and creamy without using any mayonnaise at all. The avocado acts as the fat here which means less guilt for me when I accidentally devour half a dozen.
Even better guacamole deviled eggs are super simple to put together. Here’s how…
First you get the hard part out of the way; boiling and peeling the eggs (I give you a detailed rundown in the recipe for how I boil eggs, follow them and you will have perfect eggs every time). Then combine the yolks and the rest of the ingredients in a food processor and pulse until the filling is smooth. I use a 10-cup food processor, here’s more info on my favorite brands. If you don’t have a food processor you can chop all the filling ingredients super small and then mash them together with a fork.
Pipe or spoon the filling into the egg white shells, top with some thinly sliced jalapeños or red chiles if you’d like and serve!
For the rest of the party check out these fancy veggie-inspired autumn drinks and appetizers:

This is such a genius idea Kate! I usually avoid deviled eggs because of the mayo but switching it out for flavorful guacamole sounds delicious. Can’t wait to try these for my next party or maybe just a Saturday night in 😉
I’ve eaten at least 1/2 dozen by myself Brie, I won’t lie. They make about as good a meal as any!!
I can’t resist deviled eggs. The avocado in this recipe is going to make it harder. Pleasure to meet you through #TheCasualVeggie! 🙂
I feel you Christine! I’m a deviled egg fanatic. So great to be introduced to your delicious recipes as well.
Ohmygoodnesss these look so good! I’m not a huge deviled eggs fan, but that fact that avocado is involved has totally sold me!! Congrats on an amazing release 🙂
Thanks so much Liz! You too! I hope you get a chance to try these deviled eggs–they’re the bomb!!
I have a similar recipe and they’re so good! I love your deviled egg tray!
Thank you Nicole! The tray was my Grandmothers’. I use it every time I make deviled eggs, I love it too! 🙂
Oh wow! These look tasty! Love me some guac! We’ve enjoyed getting to know you through your blog and #TheCasualVeggie! Congrats on the release today!
Thank you! I can say the same for you too! I love when I’m introduced to a whole new slew of food bloggers, this has been so much fun.
I love deviled eggs or stuffed eggs, the way we call them around here. The combination with avocado sounds amazing, I can just imagine the taste and the creaminess.
Thank you Adina!! They are ridiculously good, and almost healthy! My two favorite combinations. 🙂
This sounds totally dreamy…. yum yum and YUM!!! I might make them this weekend for a Halloween party and make them look a little like eyeballs 🙂 woohoo!
Yesssss, Kari!! I love the eyeball idea–creepy! 🙂
Yum! even though I’m a huge mayo lover (homemade only though) – these sound fabulous!
I have that same egg plate – it sure dresses up a deviled egg, doesn’t it?
Don’t you LOVE that plate? It used to be my Grandmothers’ I love the beading in the middle.
This is such a great idea, Kate! I love guacamole, and I love deviled eggs, but I never would have thought to put the two together. And I’m always looking for new ways to use avocado (and ditch mayo). I will definitely be giving this a try the next time I hardboil!
Thank you Willow! Please let me know what you think. I would take one of your Pear Ginger cocktails too when you get a sec. 🙂
I’m blown away! Looks yummy!
Deviled eggs are my favorite. I love the idea of pairing avocado with it. Searching for recipes that has no mayonnaise at all. glad i found this recipe on your blog. Definitely gotta try this one
Thank you Venkat! Let me know what you think.
