Ingredients

  • 1 dozen hard-cooked large eggs, peeled
  • 2 medium avocados, seeded and pulp scooped out
  • ¼ cup reduced fat, light mayonnaise
  • 4-5 teaspoons lime juice
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon ground red cayenne pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • cilantro leaves and/or green onions, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Slice eggs in half lengthwise. Scoop out the yolks and place in a medium bowl. (Be careful not to damage the white halves).
  2. Add avocado to bowl, and mash yolks and avocado thoroughly with a fork until fairly smooth. Add mayonnaise, lime juice, garlic powder, cayenne and salt. Stir well to blend all ingredients.
  3. Place filling in the whites using a small spoon or pipe in with a pastry bag and decorative tube. 
  4. Garnish as desired. Serve immediately or refrigerate in a tightly covered container. 

Tips & Notes

• Avocados should be ripe but not mushy. Color is not always a good indicator of ripeness, so choose avocados that yield to gentle yet firm pressure.
• Avoid avocados with large indentations on the skin; this could indicate bruising.
• Refrigerate ripe avocados to slow further ripening.
• Substitute sour cream for mayonnaise if desired.
• This recipe is gluten-free as long as the mayonnaise has not been contaminated with a used knife.
