Description
A healthy twist on classic deviled eggs, combining creamy avocado with a zesty filling for a delicious appetizer.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 Large Eggs
- 2 Avocados (pitted)
- 3 Tablespoons Lime Juice
- 2 Cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1/2 Jalapeno (deseeded and minced)
- 1/2 Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
- 1 Teaspoon Kosher Salt
- 1/4 Cup Fresh Cilantro (finely chopped)
Instructions
- Hard-Boil your eggs: Place the eggs in a pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat. Cover and remove from heat, letting eggs sit for 12-14 minutes. Transfer to an ice bath to cool.
- Peel those eggs: Once cooled, gently tap each egg on a hard surface to crack the shell and peel under cool running water.
- Slice and scoop: Cut eggs in half lengthwise, scoop yolks into a bowl, and set the whites aside.
- Mix it up: Add avocados, lime juice, minced garlic, jalapeño, cayenne pepper, and salt to yolks. Mash until creamy.
- Taste test: Adjust seasoning with more lime juice, salt, or spices as desired.
- Fill those whites: Use a spoon or piping bag to fill each egg white half with the avocado mixture.
- Garnish: Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and more cayenne if desired. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
