Ingredients

Scale

Eggs

  • 12 Large Eggs

Avocado Filling

  • 2 Avocados, pitted
  • 3 Tablespoons Lime Juice
  • 2 Cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1/2 Jalapeno, deseeded and minced
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
  • 1 Teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 1/4 Cup Fresh Cilantro, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Hard boil the eggs: Place the 12 eggs in a large saucepan and cover them with about 1 ½ inches of water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, remove the saucepan from the heat, cover it with a lid, and let the eggs sit undisturbed for 18 minutes to cook through. Meanwhile, prepare a large bowl filled with ice and cold water. After 18 minutes, transfer the eggs to the ice bath using tongs and let them cool for a few minutes until they can be handled comfortably. Peel the eggs carefully.
  2. Prepare the filling: Slice each peeled egg lengthwise and gently remove the yolks, placing them into a food processor. Add the avocados, lime juice, minced garlic, deseeded and minced jalapeno, cayenne pepper, and kosher salt to the processor. Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy, pausing occasionally to scrape down the sides to ensure even mixing. Stir in the chopped cilantro by pulsing a few times. Taste the filling and adjust seasoning if desired.
  3. Fill the eggs: Using a spoon, a piping bag, or a resealable plastic bag with a small corner cut off, carefully fill each egg white half with the avocado and yolk mixture. Garnish the tops with additional cilantro and a light sprinkle of cayenne pepper for color and extra flavor. Serve the deviled eggs immediately to enjoy their fresh texture and flavors.

Notes

  • Note 1: Use large eggs for best results and consistent filling amounts.
  • Note 2: Choose ripe but firm avocados to achieve a creamy yet stable filling.
  • Note 3: Adjust jalapeno and cayenne pepper amounts for desired spice level; removing seeds reduces heat.
  • Note 4: Using a food processor ensures a smooth, creamy filling without lumps.
  • Note 5: Serve immediately after filling to maintain freshness and prevent browning of the avocado mixture.
