Avocado deviled eggs
Ingredients
- 12 large eggs
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- Grated zest of 1 lemon plus 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp yellow mustard
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 avocado diced
Instructions
- Bring water to a boil in a large pan. With a ladle, slowly put the eggs into the water one by one. Reduce the heat to a low boil and cook for 10 min. Remove the eggs from the water and let them cool down.
- When the eggs are cool enough to handle, remove the shells. Slice each egg in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and place them in a food processor. Arrange the whites cut-side up on a serving platter.
- To the food processor, add the mayonnaise, lemon zest and juice, mustard, salt, pepper and avocado. Process until well blended and smooth. Transfer the mixture to a piping bag. Or you can use a resealable plastic bag. With scissors, snip off a bottom corner from the bag. Using the bag like a piping bag, pipe the yolk mixture into the egg whites. Garnish with freshly ground black pepper. Serve immediately or cover loosely and chill until ready to serve.
