Instructions
Creating Avocado Deviled Eggs is simple when you follow these straightforward steps:
1. Boil the Eggs: Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the pan and remove it from heat. Let it sit for 10-12 minutes.
2. Cool the Eggs: After the time is up, transfer the eggs to an ice bath or run under cold water until cool enough to handle.
3. Peel the Eggs: Carefully peel the cooled eggs and slice them in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl.
4. Mash the Yolk Mixture: Add the ripe avocado, lime juice, mayonnaise (if using), Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper to the bowl with the yolks. Mash everything together until smooth and creamy.
5. Taste and Adjust: Taste the filling and adjust seasoning as needed by adding more salt, pepper, or lime juice.
6. Fill the Eggs: Spoon or pipe the avocado mixture back into the egg white halves.
7. Garnish: Lightly sprinkle smoked paprika or chili powder on top for color and flavor. Optionally, add fresh cilantro as a garnish.
8. Chill and Serve: For the best flavor, let the deviled eggs chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
