Ingredients:

6 large eggs
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 tablespoon mustard
2 small ripe avocados or one large ripe avocado
Paprika
1-2 tablespoons lime juice
Chilli powder (optional)
Herbs of choice (I added parsely and chives)
Salt and pepper
Chopped garlic and onion (optional)

Step by Step Instructions:

Boil the Eggs:

- Place the eggs in a pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then lower the heat and simmer for 9-10 minutes.
- Remove eggs and place them in an ice bath for 5 minutes to cool, making them easier to peel.

2. Peeling the eggs:

- - Peel the eggs, cut them in half lengthwise, and remove the yolks.

3. Prepare the filling:

- In a bowl, mash the yolks with the avocado until smooth. I use a sieve to avoid lumps of the egg yolk and avocado.
- Then I add a tablespoon of mayonnaise and a tablespoon of mustard. You can decide to not add mayonnaise as we have avocado added already. I decreased the amount of mayonnaise, which otherwise would be about 3 tablespoons in the classic recipe.
- Mix everything together.

4.Season the Mixture:

- Add 1 crushed or chopped garlic and finely shopped red onions, salt and pepper to taste, paprika, chili, herbs and lime juice and mix everything together to get a smooth filling. Garlic and onions are optional.
