Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 ripe avocado (mashed)
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon diced red onion
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro (plus extra for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons sour cream (for topping)
- 1 jalapeño (thinly sliced, for garnish)
Preparation Tips
- Use a ripe avocado: Soft avocados mash easily and create a smooth filling.
- Prevent browning: The lime juice helps keep the avocado bright and fresh.
- For extra heat: Leave the jalapeño seeds in or add a dash of hot sauce to the filling.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Boil and Peel the Eggs
Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then turn off the heat and let them sit, covered, for 10-12 minutes. Transfer eggs to an ice bath for 5 minutes before peeling.
Step 2: Make the Guacamole Filling
Slice the eggs in half lengthwise and remove the yolks. In a bowl, mash the yolks with the avocado until smooth. Stir in lime juice, red onion, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and chopped cilantro.
Step 3: Fill the Egg Whites
Spoon or pipe the guacamole filling into each egg white half.
Step 4: Garnish and Serve
Top each deviled egg with a small dollop of sour cream and a thin slice of jalapeño. Sprinkle with extra chopped cilantro for added freshness.
