Deviled Eggs on Steroids

There is quite a bit of how-to's, diy's, tips and tricks on Pinterest. I have spent many an evening starting by perusing the pin boards for tasty treats and end up at 1am on a page dedicated to making your own laundry soap and shampoo from things in your pantry. I try to throw something I have gleaned from Pinterest into my rotation once a week. I feel that my Pinterest self is much more fashionable, cool and a bit more of a gourmand than I truly am in real life. Well, here's a stab and upping my h'orderve ante.....

Avocado Deviled Eggs

18 hard baked eggs

6 tbsp mayo

1tbsp yellow mustard

1 tsp kosher salt

1tsp cayenne pepper

1 tsp garlic powder

black pepper to taste

paprika for garnish

Hard baking eggs is the way to go! It's easier, it's far less smelly and I think it gives the yolks a smoother texture.

Hard Baked Eggs

1. Move oven rack to the middle of the oven and place 18 (room temp)eggs directly on rack.
2. Place a cookie sheet on bottom rack in the event an egg cracks.
3. Turn oven to 350 degrees and set timer for 30 minutes.
4. Once 30 min is up transfer eggs to an ice bath(bowl of ice cubes and water).
5. Once eggs are cooled; peel under running water, and pat dry.
   
   

   

   
   

   

   

Deviled Eggs

1. Slice hard baked eggs in half; dumping yolks into a bowl and setting whites aside.
2. Smoosh up yolks with a fork until fairly fine in texture.
3. Add in Mayo, mustard, salt, garlic powder, cayenne, and black pepper to taste. I add extras of each because I love food that packs a punch.
4. Add in diced avocado an smoosh up until consistency is creamy.
5. Transfer mixture to frosting gun or bag and pipe into egg whites.
6. Garnish with a smattering of paprika.

These are a fun twist on the traditional deviled egg.

Enjoy :)
