I’m totally obsessed with avocados.
I eat one almost everyday.
I used to be a typical avocado eater and just eat it sliced up on my salads. Then suddenly avocados caught fire and I started seeing a new variety of avocado eats all over the cyber world. Avocados were going getting mashed and put on toast, they were being blended up and put in smoothies, they were being turned in to chocolate pudding [which I skeptically tried and feel instantly in love --- hubby still thinks it’s gross]. Avocados are everywhere I tell you!
The other day I was staring dumbly in my fridge. You know, doors wide open, trying to think of what to make out of the packed-but-there’s-nothing-to-eat-in-my-fridge. Side note: Am I the only one that does this? I mean I go grocery shopping every week, so it’s not like my fridge is empty.
I looked up at the two cartons of eggs stack high on the top shelf. Bing! A rare moment of brilliance hit me. This happens less and less now that my brain has become fried. A side of pregnancy that should be discussed more. For heavens sake, my baby brain is so bad that the other day I almost dusted my couch. No joke. I was in such a trance that when I was putting the coffee table pictures on the couch so I could dust the table I started to dust the couch. Send help please.
Back to the eggs.
I was craving them deviled. I love LOVE deviled eggs. I would eat a whole tray of them easily. And then I would regret it.
But if the deviled egg was filled with a creamy avocado filling maybe I wouldn’t. Because avocados are a healthy fat and a super food. And with all the egg whites on a tray of deviled eggs I’d be getting a good protein kick. So a tray of Avocado Deviled Eggs sounds like the perfect meal…just add a salad, right?
Done.
Ingredients
- [I made these as a snack for myself, but multiply the recipe for more eggs]
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 ripe avocado
- 1 1/2 teaspoon honey Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon mayonnaise
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a small pot, boil eggs until hard, about 10 minutes. Peel off shell and cut eggs in half.
- In a small bowl place yolks from eggs and remaining ingredients in bowl. Smash up and mix to combine. I like to leave my filling a little chunky, but mash it to your liking. Fill the hole of the egg white halves with the filling. And scarf.
