Instructions

Place raw eggs, shell on, into a large pot filled with cold water.

Turn the heat on medium-high and bring the water to a boil (this may take 5-10 minutes).

Once the water is boiling fairly aggressively, turn the heat off and cover the pot with a lid. Let the eggs sit in the hot water for 8-10 minutes to fully cook.

Place the eggs into an ice bath to make them stop cooking.

Peel the eggs and discard the shells.

Mash the eggs with a potato masher or even a fork until they reach your desired chunkiness, as though you are making egg salad.

Remove the pit from the avocado and scoop out the flesh. Mash avocado into mashed egg mixture to blend.

Mix mayonnaise into egg and avocado mixture. You can use more or less mayonnaise, depending on how bit your avocado is or how dry or moist you want your green eggs.

Add in the lime juice, mustard, and salt and pepper and mix everything together.

Serve on crackers or bread.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Timing Your Avocado Addition ⏱️
Add diced avocado to the egg salad just before serving to prevent browning and maintain its creamy texture and vibrant green color.
Perfectly Cooked Eggs Every Time 🥚
Boil eggs for exactly 10-12 minutes, then immediately transfer to ice water to stop the cooking process and ensure creamy, well-set yolks without that gray-green ring.
Lime Juice as a Flavor Amplifier 🍋
Reserve some fresh lime juice to add at the end after mixing, as it brightens the flavors and prevents the avocado from oxidizing and turning brown.
Choosing the Perfect Avocado 🥑
Select avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure and have a dark, bumpy skin; prepare them within 2 hours of cutting to ensure optimal creaminess and minimize browning.
Emulsifying for Silky Texture 🤝
Fold in the mayonnaise gently after combining other ingredients, and use a light hand when mixing the avocado to maintain chunky pieces rather than creating a mushy paste.
