Ingredients
Method
Egg Preparation
- Place the 6 large eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and cover with cold water by 1 inch.
- Bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
- Cover, remove from heat, and let the eggs sit for 10-12 minutes.
- Transfer the pot to an ice-water bath to stop the cooking.
- Leave the boiled eggs in the ice-water bath for 2-3 minutes.
- Gently tap each egg to peel the shell and pat dry.
Filling Preparation
- Using a sharp serrated knife, slice each egg lengthwise to create two equal halves.
- Remove the yolks and place them in a mixing bowl.
- Add the ripe avocado, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and sriracha sauce. Mash and blend until smooth.
- Season with smoked paprika, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Mix until fully incorporated.
Assembly
- Transfer the filling to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip (or a zip-top bag with a corner snipped).
- Pipe a generous mound into each egg-white cavity.
- Sprinkle with smoked paprika and chopped fresh chives before serving.
- Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
Notes
For best results, use eggs that are a few days old for easier peeling. Fill eggs a few hours before serving for the best texture.
