These deviled eggs have avocado added to the hard-boiled egg yolk filling for a wonderful twist on traditional deviled eggs. I usually use 1 or 2 fewer yolks for the filling.
1. Ensure avocados are perfectly ripe; they should yield slightly to gentle pressure. Overripe avocados can be stringy and brown, while unripe ones are hard to mash and lack flavor. 2. For a smoother, more elegant filling, press the mashed yolk and avocado mixture through a fine-mesh sieve. This removes any small lumps and creates a truly silken texture perfect for piping. 3. Adjust the lime juice to balance the richness of the avocado and mayonnaise; it adds a crucial brightness. 4. Taste and adjust seasoning (salt, cayenne, hot sauce) frequently, as flavors can be subtle or pronounced depending on the ingredients. 5. Garnish with a sprig of fresh cilantro or finely chopped chives for added color and herbaceous notes, enhancing both presentation and flavor.
