Ingredients
- 1 extra large or 2 medium avocados (300 g / 10.6 oz)
- 4 large eggs, free-range or organic
- ¼ cup mayonnaise (you can make your own) (58 g / 2 oz)
- 2 tbsp sour cream or cream cheese or more mayo for dairy-free (24 g / 0.8 oz)
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard (you can make your own)
- 2 medium spring onions (30 g / 1.1 oz)
- ¼ tsp salt or more to taste (I used pink Himalayan)
- freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Start by cooking the eggs. Fill a small saucepan with water up to three quarters. Add a good pinch of salt. This will prevent the eggs from cracking. Bring to a boil. Using a spoon or hand, dip each egg in and out of the boiling water - be careful not to get burnt. This will prevent the egg from cracking as the temperature change won't be so dramatic. To get the eggs hard-boiled, you need round 10 minutes. This timing works for large eggs. When done, remove from the heat and place in a bowl filled with cold water. I like and always use this egg timer!
- Dice the eggs and finely slice the spring onion.
- In a bowl, mix the diced eggs, mayo, sour cream, Dijon mustard and spring onion - leave some spring onion for garnish. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Scoop the middle of the avocado out leaving ½ - 1 inch of the avocado flesh. Cut the scooped avocado into small pieces.
- Place the chopped avocado into the bowl with eggs and mix until well combined
- Fill each avocado halve with the egg & avocado mixture and top with more spring onion.
