03 - 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
04 - 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
05 - 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

# How-To Steps:

01 - Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, cover, remove from heat, and let stand for 10-12 minutes.
02 - Transfer eggs to an ice bath to cool completely. Peel the eggs and slice in half lengthwise.
03 - Gently scoop out the yolks into a medium bowl. Add avocado, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, chives, dill, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mash and mix until smooth and creamy.
04 - Spoon or pipe the green filling back into the egg white halves.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The creamy avocado makes these feel indulgent without any heaviness, perfect for spring gatherings when you want something fresh and elegant.
  • They come together in under 30 minutes, so you can actually enjoy your party instead of being stuck in the kitchen.
  • That bright green color naturally gets people excited—no artificial food coloring needed, just real ingredients doing their job beautifully.
02 -
  • Avocado oxidizes and browns quickly once exposed to air, so add that extra squeeze of lemon juice and don't make these more than a couple hours before serving if you want them to stay that gorgeous spring green.
  • The filling consistency matters—if it's too thick, it won't pipe smoothly, and if it's too loose, it'll slide right off the eggs, so add mayo gradually until you hit that perfect middle ground.
03 -
  • Chill the mixing bowl before combining your filling ingredients; it keeps the avocado from breaking down too quickly and makes everything feel fresher.
  • If you notice your avocado filling starting to brown slightly, a final stir with an extra squeeze of lemon juice brightens it right back up before serving.
