First off, these are the best deviled eggs I've ever eaten - and Jamie said the same thing. After dying Easter eggs last weekend, I now have a fridge full of colorful hard boiled eggs and making deviled eggs seemed like the best use of them. I also had half an avocado, so I decided to mix them together. It's delicious! It's similar to guacemole and so much lighter than regular deviled eggs. Adding the avocado also gives you more volume for the filling. If you have Easter eggs, go try this right away. If you don't, hard boil some eggs and try it next time you need an hors d'oeuvres.
Ingredients:
4 hard boiled eggs, halved lengthwise with yolks scooped into a bowl
1/2 an avocado
about 1 1/2 tbsp mayonnaise
2-3 tbsp chipotle hot sauce (to taste)
1/2 tsp cumin
1/4-1/2 tsp chipotle powder
juice of 1/4 lemon
2 tbsp chopped cilantro
salt to taste
Directions:
Mix egg yolks with remaining ingredients, smashing them all with a fork. Add the lemon juice and chipotle/hot sauce to taste - however spicy you want it - and salt to taste. Top each with a cilantro leaf and a sprinkle of chipotle powder.
