Servings: 12
Calories: 82cal
Ingredients
- 6 hard boiled large eggs peeled and halved
- 1 ripe avocado peeled and seeded
- 1 tablespoon lime juice lemon juice may be substituted
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard I used Grey Poupon
- ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper or to taste
- pinch cayenne pepper or chili powder optional and to taste
- 2 tablespoons finely minced fresh cilantro or to taste
- paprika or smoked paprika optional 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.
