Hey out there! I made these the other because I had a strange craving for them. Truth is, I hate avocados(I'm sorry!) and when I was on keto I had to find creative ways to get myself to eat them. Outside a strawberry avocado shake, this was my other favorite way to eat them. I thought I'd share my recipe and share with you what else you could do with them. I hope you enjoy!
This will be a partial visual guide as I know some (most) people are visual learners, not verbal. I hope this will help you make the recipe if you so desire. If you like it or want full visual recipe guides, please let me know in the comments. This is written in US measurements, so if you're out of the US, you'll need a conversion chart.
What You'll Need:
6 Boiled Eggs
1/2 Ripened Avocado
1/2 Teaspoon Onion Powder
1/2 Teaspoon Garlic Powder (I alternatively used Garlic Salt in this visual.)
2 Tablespoons Mayonnaise (If you don't like Mayo, Substitute 1 about 1 Tablespoon avocado oil or sunflower oil. I would start putting in small drizzles until fully combined so this recipe isn't too oily. It will depend on the avocado. This recipe uses Mayo in the visual guide.)
1/2 Lemon or Lime
Chile powder of choice to taste
Salt and Pepper to taste
Step one: Peel boiled eggs, cut in half, carefully remove yolks and put them in a bowl. At the end, they should look like this:
I find that if you cover these up with some wrap and put them in fridge they become more of a stable vessel for the mixture we're making. So I recommend you put the empty boiled eggs in the fridge until you're ready.
Yummy yolks.
Step two: Cut 1/2 of your avocado half, add avocado to bowl, add onion powder, garlic powder and mash.
Onion powder.
Garlic powder (I substituted Garlic salt here.)
Not included here is a photo of me adding the optional chili powder.
Step three: Add lemon juice, mayonnaise, and mix.
Lemon juice.
Mayo.
Mix.
Step four: Pack parchment bag with mixture, fill eggs with filling.
So here's a nifty trick. If you don't have a bag and tips with you can get a sandwich bag. Take the sandwich bag and cut the tip? Voila? Fill bag. Not down with plastic, roll a sheet of parchment into a cone and use it to fill the eggs.
In the bag!
Fill eggs.
Finished product. Pictured here topped with some freeze dried chives and trader joe's everything but the bagel seasoning. Other things that this could be topped or mixed in with are bacon, tomatoes, sesame seeds, bell pepper, jalapeño and the traditional paprika. With that said this recipe can be turned into something else all together....something else that people love that has avocado.
Guacamole Eggs
Sound appealing? Take the recipe above, omit two of the egg yolks. Dice finely some onion, tomato, and jalepeno. Mix as above. Take it to a safe, friendly gathering, serve to your family, enjoy on keto, have a snack.
Happy eating!
