Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by placing the large eggs in a medium-sized saucepan and cover with cold water, ensuring the water is about an inch above the eggs. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
- Once boiling, turn off the heat and cover with a lid. Let the eggs sit in the hot water for 10-12 minutes.
- Prepare an ice bath in a bowl filled with ice and cold water. After 10-12 minutes, transfer the eggs to the ice bath and chill for at least 5 minutes.
- Carefully crack and peel the eggs under running water if needed, then slice them in half lengthwise and place the yolks into a mixing bowl.
- Add ripe avocado, mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), Dijon mustard, fresh lime juice, chipotle powder, cilantro, chopped red onion, and a pinch of salt and black pepper to the yolks. Mash until smooth.
- Fill each halved egg white with the yolk mixture using a spoon or piping bag, mounding it slightly for presentation.
- Sprinkle the tops with toasted pepitas and smoked paprika for garnish.
- Cover the platter with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld.
