Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 1 piece Ripe avocado
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley or cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover them with cold water until the water is about 1 inch above the eggs.
Heat the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the water to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-12 minutes.
Remove the eggs from the hot water and transfer them to a bowl of ice water. Let them cool for 5 minutes to stop the cooking process.
Carefully peel the eggs and slice each in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and set the egg whites aside on a serving plate. Discard the yolks or save them for another use.
Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Use a fork to mash the avocado until smooth and creamy.
Mix the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper into the mashed avocado until well combined.
Spoon the mashed avocado mixture into the hollow center of each egg white half, spreading it evenly.
Optionally, sprinkle the filled egg whites with paprika for added color and flavor. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro if desired.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for up to 1 hour before serving.
