Keto Guacamole Stuffed Eggs
Ingredient Notes
Eggs
Eggs are a foundational keto food, rich in protein, healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals. Use large eggs for the best filling-to-white ratio. Fresh eggs are easier to work with, but slightly older eggs are often easier to peel after boiling.
Avocados
Ripe avocados are essential for smooth, creamy guacamole. They should yield slightly when pressed but not feel mushy. Avocados are high in monounsaturated fats and fiber, making them ideal for keto diets.
Mayonnaise
Use a keto-friendly mayonnaise made with avocado oil or olive oil. This enhances creaminess while keeping carbs low.
Lime Juice
Fresh lime juice adds acidity, balances the richness of the avocado, and prevents browning. Always use freshly squeezed juice for the best flavor.
Garlic
Fresh garlic adds a subtle bite and depth of flavor. Use sparingly so it doesn’t overpower the guacamole.
Red Onion
Finely diced red onion adds crunch and mild sharpness. Keep the pieces very small for best texture.
Cilantro
Cilantro brings a fresh, citrusy herbal note. If you dislike cilantro, parsley can be substituted.
Cumin
Ground cumin adds warmth and a slightly smoky flavor, enhancing the guacamole profile.
Paprika
Paprika provides mild sweetness and color, especially when used as a garnish.
Salt and Black Pepper
Essential seasonings that bring all the flavors together.
