Notes

Notes
Chef Notes:
Make-Ahead:
You can make these up to 1 day ahead of time.
How to Store:
Cover and keep refrigerated for up to 3 days. These will not freeze well.
Be sure your yolks
are all the way cooked through.
You can also mash
the egg yolks and avocado using a fork and then mixing in the ingredients if you do not have a food processor.
You may need to
slice a small part of the bottom of the egg whites to help balance them and stop them from rocking back and forth.
