Ingredients
  

6 large eggs

1 ripe avocado

2 tablespoons mayonnaise

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon lime juice (plus extra for garnish)

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, finely chopped (for garnish)

Red pepper flakes (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Boil the Eggs: Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover the pot, remove it from heat, and let the eggs sit for 9-12 minutes, depending on how firm you like the yolks.

    Cool the Eggs: After the time is up, carefully transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool for about 5-10 minutes. This makes peeling easier.

      Peel the Eggs: Once cool, gently tap each egg on a hard surface to crack the shell, then peel under running cold water to help remove the shell smoothly.

        Prepare the Filling: Slice the peeled eggs in half lengthwise. Carefully remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl. Set the egg whites aside.

          Mix the Filling: To the bowl with the yolks, add the ripe avocado, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lime juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mash everything together until smooth and creamy. Adjust the seasoning to taste.

            Fill the Egg Whites: Using a spoon or a piping bag, carefully fill the hollowed-out egg whites with the avocado yolk mixture.

              Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with fresh cilantro, a dash of lime juice, and red pepper flakes if desired. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
