Ingredients
Eggs
- 6 hard-boiled eggs
Avocado Filling
- 1 avocado (peeled and pitted)
- 1 lime (juiced)
- 2 tbsp red onion (finely chopped)
- 2 tbsp cilantro (finely chopped)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare the eggs: Cut the hard-boiled eggs in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out the yolks into a mixing bowl. Arrange the empty egg white halves on a serving platter for filling later.
- Combine ingredients: To the bowl with egg yolks, add the peeled and pitted avocado, freshly squeezed lime juice, finely chopped red onion, cilantro, garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Mash the filling: Use a fork to thoroughly mash and mix the yolks and avocado mixture until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency.
- Fill the eggs: Spoon the creamy avocado mixture back into the egg white halves, or for a neat presentation, use a piping bag to pipe the filling into each egg white half.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle extra red onion and chopped cilantro over the filled eggs for garnish, then serve immediately and enjoy this fresh, flavorful appetizer!
Notes
- Use ripe avocados for the creamiest texture and best flavor.
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili flakes to the filling mixture.
- These deviled eggs can be prepared a few hours in advance and refrigerated to enhance flavors but fill just before serving to keep the whites firm.
- For an extra zesty flavor, consider adding a splash of hot sauce or a sprinkle of smoked paprika on top.
