Appetizer Essentials
- 6 Large Eggs (hard-boiled & peeled)
- 1 Ripe Avocado
- 1 tbsp Lime Juice
- 1 tsp Red Onion (finely minced)
- 1 tsp Fresh Cilantro (chopped)
- 1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
- Salt & Pepper to taste
- Pinch of Chili Powder or Tajín
Step-by-Step Assembly
- Halve the Eggs: Slice hard-boiled eggs in half lengthwise. Pop the yolks into a medium mixing bowl and set the whites aside on a platter.
- The Mash: Add the avocado and lime juice to the yolks. Mash with a fork until very smooth and creamy.
- Fold in Flavor: Stir in the minced onion, cilantro, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. For a smoother texture, you can use a small food processor.
- Pipe: Spoon the mixture into a piping bag (or a plastic bag with the corner snipped off) and fill each egg white hole generously.
- Garnish: Dust with chili powder or Tajín. Top with an extra cilantro leaf or a tiny slice of jalapeño for a kick!
Pro Tip: To keep these bright green, ensure you add the lime juice immediately to the avocado. These are best served within 2-3 hours of assembly!
