Have leftover Easter eggs? Looking for a healthier option than the traditional dressed eggs with mayo? Want to draw a crowd (with very little effort)?
Putting avocado into eggs tastes surprisingly great and it’s a healthier way to make those eggs creamy! Everyone at your party will want to give ’em a try. My husband tested these and said “Mmmm; tastes like guacamole!” He’s a fan.
Ingredients for Guacamole eggs:
6 Large Boiled Eggs (click here for how to make the perfect boiled egg)
1 medium, ripe avocado
1 Tbsp fresh lime juice
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/4 tsp onion powder
1 tsp pressed garlic
1/8 tsp salt, or to taste
1 Tbsp finely chopped cilantro leaves, plus more for garnish
Smoked paprika to sprinkle over the top.
How to Make Avocado Stuffed Eggs:
1. Peel eggs and cut them in half lengthwise. Remove egg yolks from halved eggs and place 3 yolks in a small bowl; discard the rest.
2. Add ripe avocado, lime juice (it will keep avocados from turning dark), and chopped cilantro.
3. Add 1/4 tsp onion powder and about 1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper.
4. Press in 1 garlic clove and mash everything together with a potato masher or a fork. Add about 1/8 tsp salt (I add my salt in the end so I can add it to taste).
5. Pipe the avocado mixture into the eggs in whatever design your heart desires. I used a large star tip. You can even do a simple, smooth design with a ziploc bag, or just spoon it into the eggs.
Inspiration for this wonderful recipe came from Skinny Taste and I Wash You Dry; thank you so much lovely gals! 🙂
