Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 12 minutes
Total Time: 22 minutes
Ingredients:
6 Large eggs (Pro-tip: Older eggs are easier to peel than fresh eggs after they have been hardboiled)
1 Large ripe avocado
1 tablespoon lime juice or lemon juice
1 tablespoon finely chopped red onion
2 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro
1/4 teaspoon sea salt or kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika or regular paprika
Instructions:
Cover the eggs in a saucepan with water
Heat the pot on high heat and bring the water to a full rolling boil.
Turn off the heat, keep the pan on the hot burner, cover, and let sit for 10-12 minutes.
Strain the water from the pan and run cold water over the eggs to cool them quickly and stop them from cooking further.
Peel your eggs.
Cut the eggs lengthwise, remove the yolks, and place egg whites aside.
Add egg yolks, avocado, red onion, lime juice, cilantro, salt, and pepper to a small bowl. Mash and stir well to combine (you could even process in a food processor to make it smoother.)
Arrange egg white halves on a large platter. Fill the egg halves with avocado/egg yolk mixture. If you have a piping bag this can make the process a little smoother. Garnish with a pinch of paprika and extra cilantro if desired.
