Deviled eggs with avocado topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 12 large eggs
- Half a ripe avocado, pitted and peeled, mashed into a puree (about 0.5 cups)
- Juice of 1 lime (about 5 tsp)
- 2 tbsp sour cream
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh cilantro + 24 small leaves for serving
- Cayenne pepper for serving
- Sea salt flakes for serving
Preparation:
- Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil over high heat and prepare a large bowl of ice water. Carefully lower the eggs into the boiling water with a slotted spoon and cook for 10 minutes. Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and transfer them to the ice water to cool completely, about 5 minutes.
- Peel the eggs, halve each lengthwise, and separate the yolks from the whites. Place the yolks in a food processor, and set the whites aside on a plate. Add the avocado, lime juice, sour cream, chopped cilantro, and 1 teaspoon of coarse salt to the yolks and beat until smooth and light.
- Spoon the filling into the indentations of the egg whites, then sprinkle each egg lightly with cayenne pepper and a pinch of sea salt. Garnish with a cilantro leaf and serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate. Store for up to 6 hours.
