Devilishly Different Green Deviled Eggs

Description

I was bored with traditional deviled eggs and had been trying to find more ways to cook with avocados. I made these for a Kentucky Derby party and all 24 were gone within minutes! Next time I will need to make a double batch.

Ingredients

  • 12 eggs
  • 2 avocados – halved, pitted, and mashed
  • 1 small white onion, diced
  • 1 plum (Roma) tomato, seeded and diced
  • 3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
  • 2 teaspoons chopped garlic
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 24 pickled garlic cloves (such as Sonoma Farm Tex-Mex Sweet & Hot Garlic Cloves®)
  • 8 pickled jalapeno pepper slices, minced

Instructions

  1. Place eggs in a saucepan; cover with water. Bring to a boil
  2. remove from heat
  3. and let eggs stand in hot water for 15 minutes. Remove eggs from hot water
  4. cool under cold running water
  5. and peel.
  6. Stir together mashed avocado
  7. onion
  8. tomato
  9. cilantro
  10. lime juice
  11. jalapeno
  12. and chopped garlic; season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate guacamole
  13. tightly covered
  14. for 1 hour.
  15. Drain pickled garlic cloves and minced pickled jalapeno on a plate lined with paper towels.
  16. Cut each egg in half lengthwise; set yolks aside for another use. Clean away any remaining yolk from egg white halves with a wet paper towel. Place egg whites cut-side up on a serving platter.
  17. Spoon a generous amount of guacamole into each egg white half; top each deviled egg with a pickled garlic clove. Sprinkle minced pickled jalapeno
  18. salt
  19. and black pepper over deviled eggs.
