Instructions
- Step 1: Place 6 large eggs in a saucepan, cover with cold water by 1 inch, and bring to a gentle boil over medium heat. Once boiling, cover and remove from heat; let sit for 12 minutes. Transfer eggs to an ice bath for 5 minutes, then peel under cool running water.
- Step 2: Cut peeled eggs in half lengthwise. Remove yolks and place in a small bowl. Add 1/2 avocado (mashed), 2 tbsp mayonnaise, 1 tsp sriracha, 1/2 tsp lemon juice, and 1/4 tsp salt to the bowl.
- Step 3: Mash the mixture with a fork until completely smooth and creamy, adding 1 tsp water if too thick. Taste and adjust sriracha for heat.
- Step 4: Spoon the yolk mixture evenly into each egg white half. Garnish with 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh cilantro and a tiny pinch of extra sriracha on top. Chill for 30 minutes before serving.
