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.

Green Eggs and Ham Deviled Eggs
As an avid reader I’m a fan of Dr. Seuss. So obviously this recipe can be tied to his famous book. But I really like the little flower picks I used to decorate the eggs. These eggs should be taken along to picnics and delivered to brunches. Mother’s Day, baby showers, graduations parties – you get the idea. Don’t just save them for celebrating Dr. Seuss Day!

Watch how to make Green Eggs and Ham Deviled Eggs: 

I used to shy away from making deviled eggs as a take-along dish but since I discovered this method for hard boiling eggs I am a big fan of preparing my eggs this way again. I have made many multiple dozens of hard boiled eggs in this way and the peel slides right off every time! It feels like magic.

Green Eggs and Ham Deviled Eggs

I like hard boiling a dozen eggs on Sunday and storing them in the refrigerator. 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.

    Oh my gosh, these are absolutely adorable! Probably the best thing I’ve seen for spring, Easter, St. Patricks Day — they suit so many special occasions and I’m sure they’re delicious, to boot!

      You know I didn’t even think about St. Patrick’s Day because I created them last year around Easter – but you are right. GREEN! 🙂

    How far ahead can you make with avocado?

      No more than a day. Fresh avocado, even with citrus, turns brown quickly.
