Ingredients

• Eggs
  • 6 large eggs
• Filling
  • 1 ripe avocado, peeled and pitted
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
• Garnish
  • Extra chopped chives and dill
  • Paprika or chili flakes (optional)

Instructions

1.

Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover, remove from heat, and let stand for 10-12 minutes.

2.

Transfer eggs to an ice bath to cool completely. Peel the eggs and slice in half lengthwise.

3.

Gently scoop out the yolks into a medium bowl. Add avocado, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, chives, dill, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mash and mix until smooth and creamy.

4.

Spoon or pipe the green filling back into the egg white halves.

5.

Garnish with extra herbs and a sprinkle of paprika or chili flakes, if desired.

6.

Serve chilled.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Ensure the eggs are fully cooled in the ice bath before peeling to make peeling easier and prevent tearing the whites. Using a piping bag for the filling creates a more elegant presentation, but a spoon works just as well. Keep the prepared deviled eggs refrigerated and serve chilled for the best taste and texture.

Varianten und Anpassungen

For extra tang, substitute the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt. To add a hint of heat, include a dash of hot sauce in the avocado filling. Since avocado can brown quickly, add extra lemon juice to preserve the vibrant green color. Feel free to experiment with fresh herbs or spices to suit your taste.

Serviervorschläge

These deviled eggs pair wonderfully with a crisp white wine such as Sauvignon Blanc. Serve them on a beautiful platter garnished with additional fresh chives and dill for a visually striking appetizer at spring parties, brunches, or healthy snack gatherings.
