Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 6 large large eggs
  • 1 ripe avocado, peeled and pitted
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon sriracha sauce
  • ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Place the 6 large eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover with cold water by 1 inch.
  2. Bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat. Cover, remove from heat, and let the eggs sit for 10-12 minutes.
  3. Transfer the pot to an ice-water bath to stop the cooking. Leave the boiled eggs in the ice-water bath for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Gently tap each egg to peel the shell and pat dry.
  5. Using a sharp serrated knife, slice each egg lengthwise to create two equal halves. Remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl.
  6. Add the ripe avocado, 3 tbsp mayonnaise, 1 tsp Dijon mustard, and ½ tsp sriracha sauce. Mash and blend until smooth and uniformly green-gold.
  7. Season with ¼ tsp smoked paprika, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Mix until fully incorporated.
  8. Transfer the filling to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip (or a zip-top bag with a corner snipped). Pipe a generous mound into each egg-white cavity to create a decorative swirl.
  9. Sprinkle with a pinch of smoked paprika and scatter 2 tbsp chopped fresh chives over the tops for that refreshing finish.
  10. Serve immediately, or cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.

Notes

Timing is everything! Make sure to let the eggs sit in the ice bath long enough to cool fully; this makes peeling a breeze. Swap it up! If you can’t get enough avocado, try adding a sprinkle of lime juice for an extra zing. Get fancy with fillings by adding crumbled bacon or diced jalapeños. Garnish with fresh herbs like chives to elevate the flavor.
