Ingredients

  • 6 hard boiled large eggs peeled and halved
  • 1 ripe avocado peeled and seeded
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice lemon juice may be substituted
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard I used Grey Poupon
  • ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper or to taste
  • pinch Cayenne pepper or chili powder optional and to taste
  • 2 tablespoons finely minced fresh cilantro or to taste
  • paprika or smoked paprika optional for garnishing (cayenne pepper or chili powder may be substituted for a spicy kick)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Make a batch of hard-boiled eggs, peel, and halve them lengthwise. Scoop out the yolks into a large bowl and set whites aside on a platter.
  2. To the bowl with the yolks, add the avocado, lime juice, mayo, mustard, salt, pepper, optional cayenne pepper, and mash with a fork to combine.
  3. Stir in the cilantro. Taste filling and make any necessary seasoning tweaks, i.e. more salt, spice, etc.
  4. Dollop the filling into the whites with a small spoon.
  5. Optionally garnish with (smoked) paprika, chili powder, or cayenne. Serving immediately is best; alternatively place in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 8 hours before serving, noting the avocado will oxidize as time passes and the color of the filling will turn duller.

Notes

  • Tip – Boil a couple extra eggs in case yours don’t peel easily and a few rip or are raggedy.
