Ingredients
6hard boiled large eggspeeled and halved
1ripe avocadopeeled and seeded
1tablespoonlime juicelemon juice may be substituted
1tablespoonmayonnaise
1teaspoondijon mustardI used Grey Poupon
½teaspoonsaltor to taste
¼teaspoonfreshly ground black pepperor to taste
pinchcayenne pepper or chili powderoptional and to taste
2tablespoonsfinely minced fresh cilantro or to taste
paprika or smoked paprikaoptional for garnishing (cayenne pepper or chili powder may be substituted for a spicy kick)
Instructions
Make a batch of hard-boiled eggs, peel, and halve them lengthwise. Scoop out the yolks into a large bowl and set whites aside on a platter.
To the bowl with the yolks, add the avocado, lime juice, mayo, mustard, salt, pepper, optional cayenne pepper, and mash with a fork to combine.
Stir in the cilantro. Taste filling and make any necessary seasoning tweaks, i.e. more salt, spice, etc.
Dollop the filling into the whites with a small spoon.
Optionally garnish with (smoked) paprika, chili powder, or cayenne. Serving immediately is best; alternatively place in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 8 hours before serving, noting the avocado will oxidize as time passes and the color of the filling will turn duller.
Notes
Tip – Boil a couple extra eggs in case yours don’t peel easily and a few rip or are raggedy.
