Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
  • 1 ripe avocado, mashed
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
  • Smoked paprika, for garnish
  • Optional: chopped fresh chives or parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Place 6 large eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water by about an inch (about 1 cup). Bring to a rolling boil over high heat.
  2. Once boiling, turn off the heat, cover the pan, and let stand for 12 minutes.
  3. Transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water for 5 minutes to stop cooking and make peeling easier.
  4. Gently tap each egg on the counter, then peel off the shell.
  5. Slice each egg in half lengthwise and carefully remove the yolks, placing them into a mixing bowl. Arrange the whites on a serving plate.
  6. Mash the egg yolks and 1 ripe avocado together using a fork or potato masher until smooth but still a bit textured.
  7. Add 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil. Mix well.
  8. Add 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  9. Using a small spoon or piping bag, carefully spoon the filling back into the egg white halves, forming a neat, generous mound.
  10. Sprinkle smoked paprika over the filled eggs for color and subtle smoky flavor. Optionally, add chopped fresh chives or parsley on top.
  11. Refrigerate for 15-30 minutes to let flavors meld and filling set slightly. Serve cold or at room temperature.

Notes

Peel eggs under running water to ease shell removal. Use ripe avocado for best creaminess. Avoid overmixing the filling to prevent gummy texture. Adjust seasoning gradually as avocado can mute flavors. Refrigerate before serving to meld flavors. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days; avoid freezing.
