Avocado Egg Yogurt Spread

A creamy, protein-rich spread made with ripe avocado, hard-boiled eggs, and yogurt. This versatile recipe works as a sandwich filling, toast topping, dip for vegetables, or a healthy wrap spread.

Description

Avocado Egg Yogurt Spread combines wholesome ingredients into a nutritious and satisfying spread. It is quick to prepare, requires no cooking beyond boiling the eggs, and can be customized with herbs, spices, or vegetables. The result is a smooth yet slightly chunky spread with a fresh flavor and excellent nutritional balance.

Ingredients (4 Servings)

1 large ripe avocado
2 hard-boiled eggs, peeled
¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon lemon juice
¼ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
⅛ teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives or parsley (optional)
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)

Instructions

Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.
Mash the avocado with a fork until mostly smooth.
Chop or mash the hard-boiled eggs and add them to the bowl.
Stir in the Greek yogurt and lemon juice.
Add salt, black pepper, and mustard if using.
Mix until well combined.
Fold in fresh herbs.
Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for 15–30 minutes for enhanced flavor.

Preparation Notes

Use a ripe avocado that yields slightly when pressed.
Greek yogurt creates a thicker spread than regular yogurt.
Fresh lemon juice helps prevent the avocado from browning.
Finely chopped eggs create a smoother spread, while larger pieces add texture.

Tips for Success

Chill the eggs before mixing for a fresher taste.
Add a pinch of garlic powder, paprika, or chili flakes for extra flavor.
Mix in finely diced cucumber, celery, or red onion for crunch.
Store in an airtight container with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface to minimize browning.
Make small batches for the freshest results.
