Ingredients
  

  • 12 large eggs
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Microgreens or chives (for garnish)

Method
 

  1. Parboil and cool eggs: Place eggs in a saucepan of cold water. Bring to a gentle boil, then remove from heat. Let sit for 8 minutes, then transfer to ice water to cool completely.
  2. Peel eggs: Once cooled, gently tap and peel each egg. Carefully slice in half lengthwise; set whites aside.
  3. Mash yolks: Place yolks in a bowl and mash with a fork.
  4. Blend filling: Add mashed avocado, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  5. Fill egg whites: Spoon yolk mixture into prepared egg white halves.
  6. Bake: Place filled eggs on a baking sheet. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 8 minutes to firm the filling.
  7. Garnish: Sprinkle paprika and microgreens/chives on top before serving.

Notes

For a lighter option, replace avocado with 2 tbsp Greek yogurt.
Swap apple cider vinegar with white wine vinegar if preferred.
Use smoked paprika for added depth.
