I’ve got a fun Springtime twist on classic deviled eggs for you. Fresh avocado and chives provide the green color to the yolks for the green eggs. Elegant slices of prosciutto act as the ham.

My kids and I are big fans of Dr. Seuss. This recipe is an homage to his famous book of the same name. These springy deviled eggs should be taken along to picnics and delivered to brunches. Don’t just save them for celebrating Dr. Seuss Day!

I like hard boiling a dozen eggs on Sunday and storing them in the refrigerator for meal prep. It’s such an easy source of protein. Did you know eggs are known as nature’s most perfect food? The protein found in eggs is the highest-quality protein found in any food. One large egg has 13 essential vitamins and minerals, unsaturated fats and antioxidants, all for just 70 calories.

Ingredients for green eggs and ham deviled eggs

• Large Eggs – Six large eggs will give you 12 delived egg halves. This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled.
• Green Veggies – One fresh avocado and fresh chives provide both the green color to the filling and flavor.
• Ham or Prosciutto – For testing purposes, I used prosciutto for topping these deviled eggs. But you can use your favorite brand of sliced deli ham if you prefer.
• Mayo, Lemon Juice and Salt – Mayonnaise helps to bind the egg yolk filling together. And fresh lemon juice plus salt help to round out the delicious flavor profile.

Storage directions

You can hard boil your eggs a couple days in advance of preparing these. Once prepared, store any leftover deviled eggs in an airtight container. They will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
