Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 12 eggs
Ingredients
- Hard-boiled eggs
- Avocado
- Lime juice
- Garlic powder
- Salt
- Chili powder, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare hard-boiled eggs by placing eggs in a pot of cold water, ensuring water covers eggs by 1 inch. Bring water to a rolling boil, then remove from heat, cover, and let sit for 10-12 minutes.
- Immediately transfer eggs to an ice water bath to stop cooking and prevent green rings around yolks. Let eggs cool completely for about 5-7 minutes.
- Carefully peel the eggs under cool running water, gently removing shells without damaging egg whites.
- Slice each egg in half lengthwise using a sharp knife. Gently remove egg yolks and place them in a separate mixing bowl.
- Halve and pit the avocado. Scoop out the flesh into the bowl with egg yolks.
- Mash the egg yolks and avocado together until smooth and creamy. Add lime juice, garlic powder, and salt, mixing thoroughly to combine.
- Using a piping bag or spoon, fill each egg white half with the avocado-yolk mixture, creating a smooth, rounded top.
- Sprinkle chili powder lightly over the filled eggs as a garnish for added color and subtle heat.
- Chill the deviled eggs in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld and filling to set.
- Serve cold and enjoy your healthy, gluten-free guacamole deviled eggs!
Tips
- • For perfectly smooth egg whites, use eggs that are a few days old - they peel much easier than fresh eggs. • When boiling eggs, add a teaspoon of baking soda to the water to help make peeling a breeze. • Use a piping bag with a star tip for a professional, elegant look when filling the egg whites. • For extra flavor, consider adding a small amount of finely chopped cilantro or a dash of hot sauce to the avocado mixture. • To prevent browning, add a bit more lime juice and cover the surface with plastic wrap directly touching the avocado mixture when storing. • If you want a smoother filling, use a food processor to blend the avocado and egg yolks. • Chill the eggs before serving to help the filling set and enhance the flavors.
