Ingredients
Ingredients
large uncooked eggs
15 (hard boiled and peeled)
red onion
1/2 small (very finely chopped)
plum tomato
1 (seeded and finely chopped)
mayonnaise
1/2 cup (or Miracle Whip)
lime juice
1 tablespoon (freshly squeezed)
garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon
hot sauce
2 dashes
ripe avocados
2 (peeled and mashed)
jalapeno
1 small (seeded and chopped (optional))
Instructions
1
Start by placing the 15 large uncooked eggs in a large saucepan and covering them with cold water, ensuring the eggs are fully submerged.
2
Heat the saucepan over medium heat and bring the water to a gentle boil.
3
Once boiling, let the eggs cook for exactly 12 minutes for perfectly hard-boiled results.
4
After 12 minutes, quickly drain the hot water from the saucepan and rinse the eggs under cold running water to halt the cooking process.
5
Allow the eggs to cool down to room temperature before handling.
6
In a small mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped red onion, seeded and finely chopped plum tomato, mayonnaise (or Miracle Whip for extra zing), lime juice, garlic salt, and hot sauce. If you prefer a kick, feel free to include the finely chopped jalapeño. Mix well until fully combined.
7
In a separate medium-sized bowl, mash the peeled avocados until creamy, then stir in 1/4 cup of the onion mixture until smooth and well blended.
8
Once cooled, peel the eggs carefully and slice each egg in half lengthwise. Gently remove the yolks and set them aside in a mixing bowl.
9
Spoon or pipe the avocado mixture into half of the egg white halves, filling them generously.
10
Take the reserved yolks and mash them thoroughly, then incorporate the remaining onion mixture. Mix well until fluffy and combined.
11
Spoon the yolk mixture into the remaining egg halves.
12
Place the completed deviled eggs in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to chill and allow the flavors to meld.
13
Note: For a more cohesive flavor, you can mash the egg yolks directly into the guacamole mixture before filling the eggs.
