Ingredients:

• 6 large eggs, hard-boiled and peeled
• 1 ripe avocado, mashed
• 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt or mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (plus extra for garnish)
• 1/2 teaspoon lime zest (optional, for extra flavor)
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Fresh cilantro or parsley, for garnish (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Prepare the Eggs: Slice the hard-boiled eggs in half lengthwise and carefully remove the yolks. Place the yolks in a small mixing bowl and set the egg whites aside on a serving platter.
2. Make the Filling: In the bowl with the egg yolks, add the mashed avocado, Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise), lime juice, lime zest (if using), and Dijon mustard. Use a fork to mash and mix everything until smooth and creamy. Taste the mixture and season with salt and pepper to your liking.
3. Fill the Eggs: Spoon or pipe the avocado filling into the egg whites, distributing it evenly among all the halves. For a more polished look, use a piping bag with a star tip.
4. Garnish and Serve: Garnish the deviled eggs with fresh cilantro or parsley leaves and an additional squeeze of lime juice for extra freshness. Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 1-2 hours before serving.

Expert Tips for the Recipe:

• Avocado Ripeness: Make sure your avocado is ripe but not overripe. It should be soft enough to mash easily but not too mushy.
• Customize the Filling: You can add finely chopped red onion, jalapeños, or a pinch of cayenne for a little heat, or sprinkle some smoked paprika on top for extra flavor.
• Make-Ahead Option: You can prepare the filling ahead of time and store it in an airtight container in the fridge. Just fill the eggs right before serving to keep the eggs fresh and the filling creamy.
