These went very quickly for a lunchtime appetizer. If you mix the yolk with the avocado it tastes similar to a deviled egg. Don't skip the capers as they really add to the recipe. We also seasoned lightly with salt.

GREAT entertaining dish, TRUE! Made them WITH and WITHOUT egg yolks too! Something different, cause people to enquire, Asking for the recipe is what they did desire! Thanks!

I really am a sucker for trying new ways of having deviled eggs. So, these caught my eye and I am glad I tried them because they were very good. I didn't know when I would use the yolks, so I too went for the option for mixing them in with the rest. I skipped the onions and peppers but did use the capers. Very nice indeed! Made for Vegetarian tag June 2009.

Sharon, made these for Mother's Day party, mostly for the name - but what a winner. So differant from ordinary deviled eggs and given 5 stars by everyone in attendance. I used both capers AND jalapenos and did use the yolks and then simply topped with a shake of sweet papirika and they not only tasted great, but looked impressive. I used recipe #293366 to cook the eggs and they turned out perfect.
