Extra creamy deviled eggs are a classic, crowd pleasing appetizer and a must for any southern holiday celebration. This deviled egg recipe is simple to make with no-frills or fancy extras. They are the perfect finger food for holidays, parties and gatherings anytime of the year.

These creamy deviled eggs are made with just a few ingredients and that’s just the way my family likes them. My guys come from the “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” standpoint. With this dish, I tend to agree. When it’s time for our family get-together’s at the holiday, these creamy deviled eggs always show up.

During the holidays, I always have one egg plate full of these goodies on the counter! That way everyone can have one or two before we sit down to eat as an appetizer. It’s funny how no matter how many I make, there’s never any leftover!

For an little bit of extra flare, you can add avocado or horseradish to the creamy deviled egg mixture! The creamy texture of the avocado and the spice of the horseradish adds something unexpected that’s absolutely scrumptious.

Avocado deviled eggs are the perfect finger food for parties, covered dish suppers, family gatherings and celebrations!
