🛒 Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 ripe avocado
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise (sugar-free)
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tbsp finely chopped green onions
- 1 tbsp fresh coriander (optional)
- Salt (to taste)
- Black pepper (to taste)
- ¼ tsp garlic powder (optional)
- 1 tbsp olive oil (optional)
👩🍳 Method
1. Boil the Eggs
Place the eggs in a pot and cover them with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let them simmer for about 9–10 minutes. Once done, transfer them to cold water, peel, and chop into small chunks.
2. Prepare the Avocado
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Mash it gently using a fork, keeping a slightly chunky texture for better taste.
3. Make the Creamy Base
Add mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice to the mashed avocado. Mix until the texture becomes smooth and creamy.
4. Combine Ingredients
Add the chopped eggs into the avocado mixture. Then add green onions, coriander, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Fold everything together gently so the eggs remain intact.
5. Final Adjustment
Drizzle olive oil if you want extra richness. Taste and adjust seasoning according to your preference.
