Healthy (and quick) Avocado Deviled Eggs

Who doesn't love deviled eggs? I mean, really. However, with a large slab of mayo plopped in the mixing bowl in the traditional recipe, I'm more inclined to keep my distance. But there's hope! With all of 4 main ingredients, you can be sure that this one is making it into my go-to list for parties and pot-lucks. It can't get much easier than this:

 

 

[box]

  • Hard-boiled eggs (Here's an entertaining egg timer for you, too)
  • Avocados (about 1 per every 6 eggs)
  • ~1 T Lemon Juice
  • A dash of paprika
  • Some salt n' peppa[/box]

 

 

Instructions:

Peel the hard boiled eggs, and slice each one lengthwise. Pop out the yolks and put in a bowl for later use.

Add in the avocado (I usually just taste the ratio of yolks to avocado until it's at a flavor I like), and stir with a fork until mostly smooth.

Mix in the lemon juice (again, 1 Tablespoon, or just to taste) and some salt n peppa.

Spoon the yolk/avocado/lemon juice mixture into each egg. Feel free to go Jackson Pollock and let the mixture lay as it falls. Or feel free to get out a plastic bag, slice the corner, and squeeze the mixture into perfectly formed deviled towers of goodness, that would make even Martha jealous.

Sprinkle the paprika on top, again a la Jackson Pollock.

 

Savor each bite... mmmm.
