Guacamole Deviled Eggs

Recipe mostly by TipHero, with a twist or two from Grandpa.

INGREDIENTS

• Six eggs – About a week old
• 1 VERY ripe avocado
• Juice and zest from one lime
• One deseeded jalapeño – minced
  TipHero prefers to use a serrano pepper
• 1/2 tp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 2 TBL chopped Cilantro
• Dried chives ( not mixed in, rather sprinkled over top )

STEP BY STEP

1. Rather than boiling your eggs to hard boil them, TipHero bakes them at 350º for 25 minutes.
   It is absolutely critical to start with a preheated oven.
2. In a large bowl, take 4 C ice cubes and put into 8 C water
3. Take your eggs directly from the oven and put into the ice water USING A SPOON.
   Touching the eggs will raise a blister.
4. Let set in water until the ice melts
5. Peel the eggs, using the water to wash away pieces, and lubricate the egg as you peel.
   You can also peel under running water, but this wastes water.
6. Cut egg in half using a piece of dental floss – yes… dental floss.
7. Remove yolks and place in a mixing bowl.
   Place the whites on your serving plate.
8. Halve your avocado, and scoop the meat out using a spoon.
   TipHero uses the entire avocado.  I prefer using only half.
9. Add lime, jalapeño, salt, black pepper and cilantro.
10. Put into a zip lock bag, and cut the tip off a corner
11. Place your avocado mixture into the bag
12. Pipe ( squeeze ) the mixture into your egg white
13. Sprinkle your chives over top of the eggs, letting some spill onto the serving platter.
