Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 avocado
  • 1 Tbsp. cilantro chopped (plus 16 whole leaves for garnish)
  • 1/4 tsp. brown mustard gluten free if necessary
  • 1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp. olive oil
  • dash or more, to taste jalapeno sauce
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • chili powder for garnish
  • cumin for garnish

Instructions

Directions

  • Place eggs in a pot and add enough water to cover by one inch. Heat over medium-high heat. Once water comes to a full rolling boil, remove from heat, place lid on pot and let it sit for 15 min. After 15 minutes, transfer the eggs to a bowl of cold water.
  • When eggs are cool, peel them and slice them all in half lengthwise. Remove the yolk from each half and place in a medium sized bowl. Set aside the egg whites.
  • Add to the yolks, the avocado, chopped cilantro, mustard, lemon juice, olive oil, jalapeno sauce, salt and pepper. Mash well with a fork, and then stir to combine ingredients.
  • You can fill the egg whites using a spoon, or you can put the yolk mixture into a frosting piping bag fixed with whichever shape tip you like. I used a large star tip.
  • Sprinkle the top of each with a little chili powder and cumin. Place a leaf of cilantro on top of each egg.
