These deviled eggs are savory and colorful with a fresh topping of cilantro. Bring these to your Easter party and surprise your guest with the delicate and savory avocado filling.
Ingredients:
- ½ dozen hard-boiled eggs, peeled
- 1 medium avocado
- 2 Tbsp. Greek yogurt
- 1 lime (juiced)
- ¼ tsp. garlic powder
- ¼ tsp. salt
- ¼ tsp. cumin
- Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish
- Dash of hot sauce (to taste)
Directions:
- Hard boil eggs and let cool. Once cooled, peel the egg shells off and cut in half lengthwise. Scoop out the yolks and put into a bowl and separate the whites onto a tray
- In the bowl, add avocado and mash with yolks thoroughly until smooth. Add Greek yogurt, lime juice, spices and stir well
- Put the mixture into piping bag or into a Ziploc bag and cut a small amount off the corner. Pipe the filling into the egg whites creating tall mounds
- Garnish with cilantro leaves and desired hot sauce
- Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to use (eat within 3 hours)
Preparation Note:
- When choosing avocados, make sure they are ripe but not overripe. Avocados should give a little when you press into them gently. If the avocado is brown, avoid using it because it will not taste good
- Hard Boil Eggs: Place eggs in a pan and cover with cold water. Bring the water to a boil and turn off the heat and cover the pot for 8 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water.
