These Everything Bagel Spice Avocado Deviled Eggs are Keto friendly, Low Carb, Gluten Free and packed with healthy fats for a super simple lunch or snack!
I was actually inspired to make these after my friend told me she made deviled eggs for a party and topped them with everything bagel spice. Instantly I was like HOLY GENIUS, WOMAN! While a simple deviled egg recipe is always welcome, I thought I would turn this into a bit more of a main meal by adding the deviled egg filling to an avocado hole. Hence my Everything Bagel Spice Avocado Deviled Eggs!

Why This Recipe Works
Avocados are packed with healthy monounsaturated fats, flavor, and creamy texture and are pretty much the universal symbol of food happiness, am I right? I also love this recipe because it’s
- Accommodates a variety of food preferences and restrictions (i.e. gluten free, keto, vegetarian)
- Loaded with healthy fats
- Contains 7 grams of fiber and 7 grams of protein per avocado half
- Makes for a satisfying lunch!
Key Ingredients
Everything Bagel Spice – a store-bought Everything Bagel Seasoning is definitely a great option and makes life wayyyy easier. But If you don’t have everything bagel spice available at your local store, no need to worry. You can make your own! I have provided a super simple recipe (see recipe below) that only requires poppyseed, sesame seed, garlic flakes, onion flakes, and a bit of salt. Voila!
Cream Cheese – To make this recipe keto, we are upping the fat content by adding in some cream cheese with our eggs. If you’re not keto and don’t care to make this recipe higher in fat, you can certainly go for a lite version.
Greek Yogurt – Greek yogurt not only adds some extra creaminess to the recipe but also gives this recipe an extra protein boost.
Eggs – Eggs are the star of the show here and this recipe calls for 6 hard-boiled egg yolks. I prefer to use omega 3 eggs to get some extra omega 3 fats in my diet, but free range or organic are also great options.
How To Make This Recipe
Step 1: In a bowl, mix together the everything bagel spice ingredients.
Step 2: To a food processor, puree the egg yolks, cream cheese, and yogurt until smooth. Stir in 1 tbsp of the everything bagel spice.
Step 3: Transfer the mixture to a piping bag fitted with a star tip and pipe into the middles of the avocado halves. Sprinkle generously with the remaining spice mixture and enjoy!
Expert Tips
Make sure to look for ripe avocados at your local store by giving them a squeeze – they should be soft but not too squishy or too firm. If you can’t find any that are ripe and ready to go, a great way to ripen up avocados in a cinch is to put them on the counter in a brown paper bag with an apple or banana. The ethylene gas that’s emitted from the apple and banana will ripen them up in 1-3 days.
Recipe FAQs
Yes definitely. This recipe is 1000% kid approved! It’s also a great way for your kiddo to get in some healthy fats, protein, and fibre.
These avocado deviled eggs are already loaded with protein, fibre, and fats but could definitely use some beautiful veg on the side or some carbs on the side (if you’re not keto, or low carb). For my keto readers, I’d recommend pairing it with a lovely salad like my keto beet green pesto zoodles. If you’re not keto and are hankering for some carbs on the side, you can opt for some toast and/or fruit to make this a lovely breakfast or a pasta salad.

I think I’ll try this with egg salad in the avocado so I’m not wasting all the egg whites. This looks like a genius lunch idea. Thank you!

Leslie Estes says
These are fantastic! Since I use very little dried spices in my home I substituted fresh grated onion and garlic to taste and in place of the poppy seeds I added some whole flax seeds that I had in my freezer. Worked great.
