Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 6 large large eggs
  • 1 ripe ripe avocado
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice freshly squeezed is best!
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped cilantro or chives for garnish Optional

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by placing the eggs in a pot and filling it with enough water to cover them by at least an inch.
  2. Bring the water to a boil, then cover the pot and turn off the heat. Let the eggs sit in the hot water for about 12 minutes.
  3. Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool for easier peeling.
  4. Once the eggs are cool, peel them and slice them in half lengthwise.
  5. Gently scoop out the yolks into a mixing bowl, then add the ripe avocado, lime juice, lime zest, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  6. Mash it all together until you have a creamy mixture, leaving a few chunky bits for texture.
Assembly
  1. Spoon or pipe the creamy avocado mixture back into the egg whites.
  2. Garnish with chopped cilantro or chives for presentation.

Notes

Try adding a pinch of smoked paprika or cayenne pepper for an extra kick. Prepare the filling a few hours in advance and store it in the fridge until you’re ready to fill the eggs. If the avocado mixture turns brown, a little lime juice helps, but it will still taste great!
