Elated Guacamole Stuffed Eggs Recipe
Guacamole stuffed eggs combine the classic deviled egg with creamy avocado, lime, cilantro, and jalapeno for a flavorful twist. Hard-boiled eggs are halved, yolks mixed with mashed avocado, lime juice, cilantro, jalapeno, salt, and pepper. The mixture is then piped back into the egg whites and garnished with additional toppings like diced tomato, cilantro, or a sprinkle of paprika. Easy to make and bursting with flavor, these stuffed eggs are perfect for any occasion.
Equipment
- 1 Saucepan
- 1 Piping bag
- 1 Knife
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1 lime juiced
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 small jalapeño finely chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by boiling the eggs: place them in a saucepan, cover with water, bring to a boil, then let them sit in hot water for 10-12 minutes, followed by transferring to an ice water bath to cool.
- Next, prepare the guacamole by scooping out the avocado flesh into a mixing bowl, mashing it, and then adding lime juice, chopped cilantro, and finely chopped jalapeño, if desired, mixing well and seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Once the eggs are cooled, carefully peel and halve them lengthwise, removing the yolks and placing them in the bowl with the guacamole mixture, then mashing them together until smooth.
- Optionally, transfer the guacamole mixture into a piping bag or plastic bag with a corner snipped off for easier filling, and then pipe or spoon the mixture into the hollowed-out egg whites, ensuring each is generously filled.
- Finally, garnish the stuffed eggs with diced tomato, additional chopped cilantro, and a sprinkle of paprika if desired, then arrange them on a serving platter or plate and serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
- Assembling the Stuffed Eggs - Handle the hard-boiled eggs gently to prevent them from breaking or tearing. Ensure that the egg whites are thoroughly cooled before filling them with the guacamole mixture. For a neater presentation, use a piping bag or plastic bag with a corner snipped off to fill the egg whites with the guacamole mixture.
- Garnishing and Serving - The garnishes such as diced tomato, chopped cilantro, and paprika add color, flavor, and texture to the stuffed eggs. Feel free to get creative with additional garnishes such as crumbled bacon, sliced olives, or grated cheese. Serve the guacamole stuffed eggs immediately for the best taste and texture, or refrigerate them until ready to serve.
