Ingredients
- 9 large eggs
-
1 medium avocado, halved and pitted
-
1 to 2 Italian plum (Roma) tomatoes, seeded and finely chopped (about 1/3 cup)
-
1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
-
2 tablespoons fat-free sour cream
-
1 to 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh jalapeños, seeds and ribs discarded (optional)
-
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
-
Pinch of pepper
-
1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
Directions
-
Add the eggs to a large pot. Fill the pot with enough water to cover the eggs. Bring to a boil over high heat. As soon as the water comes to a boil, remove the pan from the heat. Cover. Let stand for 10 minutes. Drain. Transfer the eggs to a bowl filled with cold water.
-
When the eggs are cool enough to handle, remove the shells. Slice each egg in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks. Add 2 whole egg yolks to a medium bowl. (Save the remaining 7 egg yolks for another use.) Place the egg white halves on a platter.
-
Using a spoon, scoop the avocado into the bowl with the egg yolks. Using a fork, mash together.
-
Stir in the tomatoes, green onions, sour cream, jalapeño, lime juice, salt, and pepper.
-
Using a teaspoon or small (1-inch) portion scoop, place the avocado mixture into each egg white half, dividing the mixture equally. Sprinkle each with 1/4 teaspoon cilantro.
