These deviled eggs are filled with a creamy mixture of egg, avocado and spices. |
8 hard boiled eggs, shelled
1/2 cup sliced avocado
1 teaspoon lemon or lime juice
1/2 teaspoon dried cilantro
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
dash cayenne pepper (optional)**
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 or 2 tablespoons of sliced pickled jalapenos or green olives, optional for garnish
Method:
Halve the hard boiled eggs and remove the yolks. Grate the yolks into a bowl. Add the avocado, spices and mayonnaise. Blend until smooth with an immersion blender or electric mixer. Pipe or spoon the filling into the egg white halves. If desired, garnish each half with half of a jalapeno slice. Makes 16 servings.
**I prefer the flavor that a tiny bit of cayenne adds to the filling, but if you prefer, it can be omitted.
