Ingredients
Scale
Deviled Eggs Mixture
- 6 hard-boiled eggs
- 1 avocado, peeled and pitted
- 1 lime, juiced
- 2 tbsp red onion, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp cilantro, finely chopped
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt, to taste
- Black 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 egg white halves on a serving platter, ready for filling.
- Mix the filling: In the bowl with the egg yolks, add the peeled and pitted avocado, fresh lime juice, finely chopped red onion, cilantro, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Use a fork to mash all the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Fill the egg whites: Using a spoon, scoop the creamy avocado and egg yolk mixture and dollop it back into the egg white halves. For a neater presentation, you can also pipe the mixture into the whites using a piping bag.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle extra red onion and cilantro on top as garnish. Serve immediately to enjoy the freshest flavors and best texture.
Notes
- You can prepare the hard-boiled eggs a day ahead and keep them refrigerated until ready to assemble to save time.
- Lime juice helps prevent the avocado from browning quickly, but the filled eggs are best served fresh as oxidation can still occur.
- For a spicier kick, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili flakes to the filling.
