Ingredients

Scale

Eggs

6 hard boiled eggs, peeled and cut lengthwise

Guacamole Filling

1 avocado, pitted and peeled
1 tbsp lime juice
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic (or 1 tsp minced garlic)
2 tsp cilantro (or 2 tsp finely chopped cilantro)

Topping

Smoked paprika, for sprinkling

Instructions

Prepare the yolks and avocado mixture: Remove the yolks from the halved hard boiled eggs and place them in a small bowl. Add the ripe avocado, lime juice, salt, onion powder, garlic, and cilantro to the bowl.
Mash the filling: Using a fork, mash the yolk and avocado mixture until it forms a smooth guacamole-like consistency, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.
Fill the egg whites: Spoon or pipe the guacamole mixture back into the egg white halves evenly, filling each cavity generously and neatly.
Garnish and serve: Sprinkle each filled deviled egg with a dash of smoked paprika for color and a smoky flavor.
Storage: Store the guacamole deviled eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days to maintain freshness.

Notes

For a smoother filling, use a piping bag with a star tip to pipe the guacamole mixture.
Adjust salt and lime juice to taste depending on the avocado ripeness.
Use fresh cilantro for best flavor, but you can substitute with parsley if needed.
Consume within 2 days as avocado browns quickly.
