Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 6 large large eggs For the base of the deviled eggs
  • 1 ripe avocado Should be perfectly ripe for best flavor
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice Freshly squeezed for best taste
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest Adds extra citrus flavor
  • 1-2 tablespoons mayonnaise For creaminess
  • Salt and pepper to taste To enhance flavors
Optional Garnishes
  • sliced radishes For garnish
  • fresh cilantro For garnish
  • chili powder For garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by placing your eggs in a pot and covering them with cold water. Turn on the heat and bring it to a boil—then cook for about 9-12 minutes.
  2. Once done, plunge the eggs into an ice bath (or cold water) to stop the cooking.
  3. Once the eggs have cooled, peel them gently. I recommend gently tapping them on a hard surface and rolling them to get the shell off seamlessly.
  4. Cut the eggs in half lengthwise, placing the yolks in a mixing bowl and the whites on a serving platter.
Mixing
  1. To your egg yolks, add the ripe avocado, lime juice, lime zest, and mayo. Mash it all together until you achieve a creamy consistency.
  2. Add a touch of salt and pepper to taste.
Assembly
  1. Use a piping bag or a spoon to fill the egg whites with your avocado and lime mixture.
  2. Add radish slices, fresh cilantro, or a light dusting of chili powder for garnish.

Notes

Choose a perfectly ripe avocado; it should yield slightly to gentle pressure. You can easily double this recipe for larger gatherings. Feel free to spice things up by adding chopped jalapeños or swapping lime for lemon.
