Lorac...great as usual! I loved the avocado mixed with the egg yolks. I cut back a little on the olive oil, maybe to a 1 1/2t. I added chopped shrimp from a can (rinsed and drained). The guests gobbled these up....even the kids. I was surprised at the kids eating something kind of green, LOL! It really was a nice, pretty touch to my cookout. Thanks!

Very pretty to look at. I used shrimp also. I think I stuffed too much filling into each egg white; they were almost too rich. I love avocado and I love deviled eggs, but the combo wasn't as wonderful as I had hoped. I'll try again and remember to adjust the volume of filling! Thanks, Lorac! For P-A-R-T-Y 2009
